"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnfsd: block non-SAVEFH ops after FOREIGN PUTFH to prevent NULL deref\n\nWhen CONFIG_NFSD_V4_2_INTER_SSC is enabled, nfsd4_putfh() can return\nsuccess with fh_dentry and fh_export both NULL if fh_verify() returns\nnfserr_stale and putfh->no_verify is true. The NFSD4_FH_FOREIGN flag\nis set, but the compound dispatch loop only uses this flag to bypass\nthe nfserr_nofilehandle check -- it does not prevent subsequent ops\nfrom running with a NULL fh_dentry.\n\nA remote client can exploit this by crafting a COMPOUND that includes\nan inter-SSC COPY (which causes check_if_stalefh_allowed() to set\nno_verify=true on the saved PUTFH) with an additional op inserted\nbetween the source PUTFH and SAVEFH. For example, SETATTR calls\nfh_want_write() which dereferences fh_export->ex_path.mnt without\ncalling fh_verify() first, causing a NULL pointer dereference in the\nnfsd kthread.\n\nFix this by gating the dispatch loop: when NFSD4_FH_FOREIGN is set\nand fh_dentry is NULL, only OP_SAVEFH (needed for the inter-SSC flow)\nand ops with ALLOWED_WITHOUT_FH (which don't need a resolved\nfilehandle) may proceed. All other ops receive nfserr_stale, per\nRFC 7862 Section 15.2.3 which specifies that foreign filehandle\nvalidation is deferred to the consuming operation and NFS4ERR_STALE\nreturned at that point."

"value": "AV:N - The bug is in nfsd NFSv4 COMPOUND dispatch and is triggered by a crafted NFSv4.2 COMPOUND over TCP/2049 (PUTFH of a stale fh, then SETATTR, with an inter-SSC COPY in the same compound). No local access is required.\nAC:L - After EXCHANGE_ID/CREATE_SESSION, the attacker fully controls the compound that marks the source PUTFH no_verify and inserts SETATTR before SAVEFH, so fh_want_write hits NULL fh_export deterministically with no race or layout dependency.\nPR:N - AUTH_SYS (the usual nfsd configuration) verifies no secret; a client just asserts a UID to create a session. SETATTR then runs on the FOREIGN fh without fh_verify, so no export access check or other credential gate is reached.\nUI:N - The attacker sends the COMPOUND directly to nfsd; no administrator or victim user action is required at exploitation time.\nS:U - The NULL dereference oopses the nfsd kthread in the host kernel's own authority and does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary.\nC:N - After the stale FOREIGN PUTFH, fh_export and fh_dentry are NULL rather than dangling or attacker-controlled, so the fault is on the first load of fh_export->ex_path.mnt with no disclosure.\nI:N - This is a pure NULL pointer dereference in fh_want_write with no write to attacker-influenced memory and no control-flow hijack primitive.\nA:H - The NULL dereference oopses the nfsd kthread and can be replayed to exhaust nfsd threads, denying NFS service; with panic_on_oops it panics the host."
