"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnfsd: release path refs on follow_down() error\n\nnfsd_cross_mnt() initializes a local struct path with mntget() and\ndget() before calling follow_down(). On a negative return the error\narm jumps to out without releasing those references:\n\n err = follow_down(&path, follow_flags);\n if (err < 0)\n goto out;\n\nfollow_down() never drops the caller's entry-time refs on any error\nsub-case; for example a pre-cross d_manage() failure leaves path\nuntouched, so the mntget()/dget() taken on entry survive the call.\n\nEvery other early-exit arm in nfsd_cross_mnt() (other-namespace\nreturn, IS_ERR(exp2), and the success tail after the swap) already\ncalls path_put(&path); the err < 0 arm is the lone omission. The\nleak inflates mnt_count and d_count on each failed cross-mount,\nblocking umount and pinning dentries against the shrinker, and is\nreachable by any authenticated NFS client through nfsd_lookup_dentry\nor the NFSv4 READDIR encode path.\n\nFix by calling path_put(&path) before the goto out in the err < 0\narm so the entry-time refs are released on all follow_down() error\nreturns."

"value": "AV:N - nfsd_cross_mnt() runs in the in-kernel NFS server on TCP/UDP 2049 from nfsd_lookup_dentry() (NFSv2/v3/v4 LOOKUP) and nfsd4_encode_entry4_fattr() (NFSv4 READDIR); a remote client reaches it with ordinary RPC requests.\nAC:L - On a typical nfsd export of autofs homes or nested mounts with crossmnt, an attacker can deterministically make follow_down() fail (autofs d_manage/automount error) by repeating LOOKUP/READDIR of failing mount triggers; no race or victim-controlled layout is required.\nPR:N - Default nfsd exports accept RPC_AUTH_NULL and RPC_AUTH_UNIX with no password; fh_verify only checks export IP policy, a MOUNT/PUTROOTFH filehandle, and directory execute, so no Linux account or capability on the server is required.\nUI:N - The attacker triggers the leak with their own NFS LOOKUP or READDIR RPCs; no victim mount, click, or other interactive action is required.\nS:U - The leak inflates dentry and vfsmount refcounts inside the nfsd host kernel and does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or other separate security authority.\nC:N - The bug only fails to path_put() the mntget/dget taken before follow_down(); it does not read kernel or file data or provide an information-disclosure primitive.\nI:N - The bug does not write attacker-controlled data or corrupt kernel objects; it only retains extra references on existing dentries and mounts.\nA:H - Each failed follow_down() permanently pins the dentry and vfsmount; repeated LOOKUPs of distinct autofs/mountpoint names leave unreclaimable dentries, block umount, and can exhaust kernel memory for a system-wide DoS."
