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 />
nfsd: make sure exp active before svc_export_show<br />
<br />
The function `e_show` was called with protection from RCU. This only<br />
ensures that `exp` will not be freed. Therefore, the reference count for<br />
`exp` can drop to zero, which will trigger a refcount use-after-free<br />
warning when `exp_get` is called. To resolve this issue, use<br />
`cache_get_rcu` to ensure that `exp` remains active.<br />
<br />
