Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nfsd: fix use-after-free due to delegation race

A delegation break could arrive as soon as we've called vfs_setlease. A
delegation break runs a callback which immediately (in
nfsd4_cb_recall_prepare) adds the delegation to del_recall_lru. If we
then exit nfs4_set_delegation without hashing the delegation, it will be
freed as soon as the callback is done with it, without ever being
removed from del_recall_lru.

Symptoms show up later as use-after-free or list corruption warnings,
usually in the laundromat thread.

I suspect aba2072f4523 "nfsd: grant read delegations to clients holding
writes" made this bug easier to hit, but I looked as far back as v3.0
and it looks to me it already had the same problem. So I'm not sure
where the bug was introduced; it may have been there from the beginning.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: nfsd: corrige el use-after-free debido a la ejecución de delegación. Una interrupción de la delegación podría llegar tan pronto como hayamos llamado a vfs_setlease. Una interrupción de la delegación ejecuta una devolución de llamada que inmediatamente (en nfsd4_cb_recall_prepare) agrega la delegación a del_recall_lru. Si luego salimos de nfs4_set_delegation sin aplicar hash a la delegación, se liberará tan pronto como finalice la devolución de llamada, sin eliminarse nunca de del_recall_lru. Los síntomas aparecen más tarde como advertencias de use-after-free o de corrupción en la lista, generalmente en el hilo de la lavandería. Sospecho que aba2072f4523 "nfsd: otorgar delegaciones de lectura a clientes que tienen escrituras" hizo que este error fuera más fácil de corregir, pero miré hasta la versión 3.0 y me parece que ya tenía el mismo problema. Entonces no estoy seguro de dónde se introdujo el error; puede que haya estado ahí desde el principio.
