{"id":"CVE-2026-89659","summary":"NFSD: Prevent client use-after-free during delegation revoke","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nNFSD: Prevent client use-after-free during delegation revoke\n\nA delegation stateid holds only a bare pointer to its owning\nnfs4_client and does not keep it alive.  The client survives its\nstateids only because __destroy_client() drains cl_delegations and\ncl_revoked before free_client() runs.\n\nnfs4_laundromat() breaks that invariant: it unhashes an\nexpired delegation from cl_delegations, drops deleg_lock, then\nrevoke_delegation() relinks it onto cl_revoked under cl_lock.  In that\nwindow the delegation is on neither list, so client_has_state() can\nreport no remaining state.\n\nEvery teardown path first requires cl_rpc_users to be zero, but\nthe laundromat holds no such reference.  A client whose recalled\ndelegation has just timed out can therefore reach free_client()\nwhile revoke_delegation() is still about to dereference cl_lock,\na use-after-free.\n\nPin the client with cl_rpc_users across the revoke so teardown blocks\nuntil it completes, then reap the delegation from cl_revoked.  A client\nalready expiring reaps its own, so skip it and leave the delegation on\ndel_recall_lru.","modified":"2026-09-13T03:47:20.133471892Z","published":"2026-09-11T19:45:47.587Z","database_specific":{"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/89xxx/CVE-2026-89659.json","cna_assigner":"Linux"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2a9d637c2a8fd8ac29ad9b29f28d122ef75c1a56"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3c0a53ee0b442348d8d2286d6960d3f07bb3a3d3"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4683ca76b3b7e5808338491c6eb3c20e6b4894d5"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/89xxx/CVE-2026-89659.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-89659"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"3bd64a5ba1719c2bb6cba4493dfd3e23a7653e54"},{"fixed":"3c0a53ee0b442348d8d2286d6960d3f07bb3a3d3"},{"fixed":"2a9d637c2a8fd8ac29ad9b29f28d122ef75c1a56"},{"fixed":"4683ca76b3b7e5808338491c6eb3c20e6b4894d5"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-89659.json"}},{"package":{"name":"Kernel","ecosystem":"Linux"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"3.10.0"},{"fixed":"6.18.51"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.19.0"},{"fixed":"7.2.4"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-89659.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
