Summary

In the Linux kernel NFSD subsystem, a bug in nfsd4_add_rdaccess_to_wrdeleg causes an extra increment of the nfs4_file access count when fp->fi_fds[O_RDONLY] is already set by another thread. This prevents the nfsd_file object from being freed, leading to a BUG in kmem_cache_destroy() when stopping the nfs-server service.

Risk Assessment

The organization may experience NFS service crashes during server restarts, causing data access interruptions. Memory leaks can also degrade system performance over time.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that fixes the issue in NFSD. Update the system to a kernel version containing the fix or apply an appropriate backport.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NFSD: fix nfs4_file access extra count in nfsd4_add_rdaccess_to_wrdeleg In nfsd4_add_rdaccess_to_wrdeleg, if fp->fi_fds[O_RDONLY] is already set by another thread, __nfs4_file_get_access should not be called to increment the nfs4_file access count since that was already done by the thread that added READ access to the file. The extra fi_access count in nfs4_file can prevent the corresponding nfsd_file from being freed. When stopping nfs-server service, these extra access counts trigger a BUG in kmem_cache_destroy() that shows nfsd_file object remaining on __kmem_cache_shutdown. This problem can be reproduced by running the Git project's test suite over NFS.
