Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
NFSD: fix use-after-free on source server when doing inter-server copy<br />
<br />
Use-after-free occurred when the laundromat tried to free expired<br />
cpntf_state entry on the s2s_cp_stateids list after inter-server<br />
copy completed. The sc_cp_list that the expired copy state was<br />
inserted on was already freed.<br />
<br />
When COPY completes, the Linux client normally sends LOCKU(lock_state x),<br />
FREE_STATEID(lock_state x) and CLOSE(open_state y) to the source server.<br />
The nfs4_put_stid call from nfsd4_free_stateid cleans up the copy state<br />
from the s2s_cp_stateids list before freeing the lock state&#39;s stid.<br />
<br />
However, sometimes the CLOSE was sent before the FREE_STATEID request.<br />
When this happens, the nfsd4_close_open_stateid call from nfsd4_close<br />
frees all lock states on its st_locks list without cleaning up the copy<br />
state on the sc_cp_list list. When the time the FREE_STATEID arrives the<br />
server returns BAD_STATEID since the lock state was freed. This causes<br />
the use-after-free error to occur when the laundromat tries to free<br />
the expired cpntf_state.<br />
<br />
This patch adds a call to nfs4_free_cpntf_statelist in<br />
nfsd4_close_open_stateid to clean up the copy state before calling<br />
free_ol_stateid_reaplist to free the lock state&#39;s stid on the reaplist.
