In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: fix use-after-free due to delegation race
A delegation break could arrive as soon as we've called vfs_setlease. A
delegation break runs a callback which immediately (in
nfsd4_cb_recall_prepare) adds the delegation to del_recall_lru. If we
then exit nfs4_set_delegation without hashing the delegation, it will be
freed as soon as the callback is done with it, without ever being
removed from del_recall_lru.
Symptoms show up later as use-after-free or list corruption warnings,
usually in the laundromat thread.
I suspect aba2072f4523 "nfsd: grant read delegations to clients holding
writes" made this bug easier to hit, but I looked as far back as v3.0
and it looks to me it already had the same problem. So I'm not sure
where the bug was introduced; it may have been there from the beginning.
