Severity CVSS v4.0:
Pending analysis
Type:
CWE-416
Use After Free

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
SUNRPC: make sure cache entry active before cache_show<br />
<br />
The function `c_show` was called with protection from RCU. This only<br />
ensures that `cp` will not be freed. Therefore, the reference count for<br />
`cp` can drop to zero, which will trigger a refcount use-after-free<br />
warning when `cache_get` is called. To resolve this issue, use<br />
`cache_get_rcu` to ensure that `cp` remains active.<br />
<br />
------------[ cut here ]------------<br />
refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.<br />
