Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfsd: fix management of listener transports Currently, when no active threads are running, a root user using nfsdctl
command can try to remove a particular listener from the list of previously
added ones, then start the server by increasing the number of threads,
it leads to the following problem: [ 158.835354] refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.

server's sv_permsocks and close the specified listener but the other
list of transports (server's sp_xprts list) would not be changed leading
to the problem above. Instead, determined if the nfsdctl is trying to remove a listener, in
which case, delete all the existing listener transports and re-create
all-but-the-removed ones.
