No local access to the server is needed.\nAC:L - The attacker controls its own side of the race and can issue unauthenticated SETCLIENTID_CONFIRM operations at arbitrary rate, and the vulnerable window (force_expire_client() parked in wait_event for cl_rpc_users to drain) stays open as long as the attacker keeps RPCs in flight, so the window is attacker-widened rather than narrow. The forced-expire trigger is an administrative action, but it is the documented response to exactly the kind of misbehaving client the attacker can pose as.\nPR:N - OP_SETCLIENTID_CONFIRM is ALLOWED_WITHOUT_FH/ALLOWED_ON_ABSENT_FS, so no filehandle or export access check is performed, and under the default AUTH_SYS/AUTH_NULL flavors the RPC credentials are self-asserted and never verified. Any host able to reach the NFS port can reach the bug.\nUI:N - The attack is completed entirely by the attacker's own NFS traffic; no victim opens a file, mounts a filesystem, or otherwise interacts. The concurrent client-expiry is a system/administrative state condition folded into Attack Complexity, not user interaction.\nS:U - The corrupted object (struct nfs4_client) and all consequences remain within the kernel of the NFS server; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The freed struct nfs4_client is used after free (fsnotify_dentry, nfsd4_probe_callback) and its slab can be re-occupied by attacker-groomed data, giving a path to disclose arbitrary kernel memory. Per kernel scoring guidance a UAF is scored C:H.\nI:H - The UAF yields concrete write primitives on freed memory — set_bit() on cl_flags, memcpy() into cl_cb_conn, and an unbalanced atomic_dec() in put_client_renew_locked() — plus a function-pointer dereference via nfsd4_run_cb(&clp->cl_cb_null), which is exploitable for control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - The use-after-free reliably oopses or panics the NFS server; additionally renew_client_locked() hits WARN_ON(1) (fatal with panic_on_warn) and the cl_rpc_users underflow to -1 leaves force_expire_client() stuck forever in wait_event, producing an unkillable hung task." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git",
