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

SUNRPC: Fix RPC client cleaned up the freed pipefs dentries

RPC client pipefs dentries cleanup is in separated rpc_remove_pipedir()
workqueue,which takes care about pipefs superblock locking.
In some special scenarios, when kernel frees the pipefs sb of the
current client and immediately alloctes a new pipefs sb,
rpc_remove_pipedir function would misjudge the existence of pipefs
sb which is not the one it used to hold. As a result,
the rpc_remove_pipedir would clean the released freed pipefs dentries.

To fix this issue, rpc_remove_pipedir should check whether the
current pipefs sb is consistent with the original pipefs sb.

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: SUNRPC: el cliente RPC limpió los pipefs dentries liberados. La limpieza de pipefs dentries del cliente RPC está en la cola de trabajo separada rpc_remove_pipedir(), que se encarga del bloqueo del superbloque de pipefs. En algunos escenarios especiales, cuando el kernel libera el pipefs sb del cliente actual e inmediatamente asigna un nuevo pipefs sb, la función rpc_remove_pipedir juzgaría mal la existencia de pipefs sb que no es el que solía contener. Como resultado, rpc_remove_pipedir limpiaría las dentrías de pipefs liberadas. Para solucionar este problema, rpc_remove_pipedir debe verificar si el pipefs sb actual es consistente con el pipefs sb original.
