  "details" : [ "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\nNFSD: fix use-after-free on source server when doing inter-server copy\nUse-after-free occurred when the laundromat tried to free expired\ncpntf_state entry on the s2s_cp_stateids list after inter-server\ncopy completed. The sc_cp_list that the expired copy state was\ninserted on was already freed.\nWhen COPY completes, the Linux client normally sends LOCKU(lock_state x),\nFREE_STATEID(lock_state x) and CLOSE(open_state y) to the source server.\nThe nfs4_put_stid call from nfsd4_free_stateid cleans up the copy state\nfrom the s2s_cp_stateids list before freeing the lock state's stid.\nHowever, sometimes the CLOSE was sent before the FREE_STATEID request.\nWhen this happens, the nfsd4_close_open_stateid call from nfsd4_close\nfrees all lock states on its st_locks list without cleaning up the copy\nstate on the sc_cp_list list. When the time the FREE_STATEID arrives the\nserver returns BAD_STATEID since the lock state was freed. This causes\nthe use-after-free error to occur when the laundromat tries to free\nthe expired cpntf_state.\nThis patch adds a call to nfs4_free_cpntf_statelist in\nnfsd4_close_open_stateid to clean up the copy state before calling\nfree_ol_stateid_reaplist to free the lock state's stid on the reaplist." ],
  "statement" : "The bug is a use-after-free in NFSD’s inter-server copy path when a client issues CLOSE before FREE_STATEID, leaving a stale copy-state that the laundromat later frees again.\nExploitation is network-reachable but requires an NFS client with access to the export (PR:L).\nThe realistic impact is a kernel/NFSD crash (DoS), not privilege escalation.\nOnly NFSv4.2 inter-server copy on the source server is affected.\nEnvironments not using v4.2 COPY are not exposed.",
