CVE-2026-89694
UnknownSummary
In the Linux kernel's nfsd module, manage_cpntf_state() on the OFFLOAD_CANCEL path freed a copy-notify state without checking ownership. The lookup key is predictable and the embedded clientid is fixed per network, so any authenticated NFSv4.2 client could cancel and free another client's copy-notify stateid. The fix compares the creating clientid against the requesting client's clientid and returns nfserr_bad_stateid on mismatch.
Risk Assessment
An authenticated NFSv4.2 client can disrupt other clients' operations by cancelling their copy-notify states. This may lead to errors in server-side copy operations and compromise the integrity of inter-client operations.
Recommendation
Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that verifies clientid ownership in manage_cpntf_state(). Restrict NFSv4.2 access to trusted clients until the patch is applied.
Other vulnerabilities in Linux kernel (nfsd)
See all- CVE-2026-89706Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the nfsd module failed to reset the write verifier when an async COPY writeback failed. When writeback failed, the server reported NFS_UNSTABLE to the NFS client but did not rotate the verifier, so after COMMIT the client treated the data as durable even though the write had failed.
- CVE-2026-89705Unknown
In the Linux kernel, nfsd_dispatch() did not restore rq_status_counter to an even value on all exit paths (cache-hit, drop, encode-error). The counter left odd caused the lockless reader in nfsd_nl_rpc_status_get_dumpit() to treat rqstp fields as stable and read past the end of the 8-element ops array.
- CVE-2026-89704Unknown
In the Linux kernel, _nfsd_copy_file_range() sampled the writeback error cursor (dst->f_wb_err) after the copy loop instead of before it. Concurrent COMMIT or stable WRITE could advance the cursor, so the writeback error went undetected and NFSD4_COPY_F_COMMITTED was set despite the failed write.
- CVE-2026-89703Unknown
In the Linux kernel, nfsd4_drop_revoked_stid(), which handles FREE_STATEID for admin-revoked delegations, did not set SC_STATUS_FREED before releasing cl_lock. Without this flag the freed delegation was added to cl_revoked, causing a use-after-free when that list is later traversed in __destroy_client().
- CVE-2026-89701Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the xdrgen-based TIME_DELEG_ACCESS and TIME_DELEG_MODIFY decode arms stored a raw uint32_t nseconds directly into tv_nsec without enforcing nseconds < NSEC_PER_SEC. A malicious client could send a malformed timespec that propagated through notify_change() to disk.
- CVE-2026-89700Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the nfsd_sock_nl_policy declared NFSD_A_SOCK_ADDR as a bare NLA_BINARY attribute with no minimum length. A CAP_NET_ADMIN caller could send a 16-byte address with sa_family=AF_INET6, causing a 12-byte out-of-bounds read across three consumers (rpc_cmp_addr_port, svc_find_listener, kernel_bind).
- CVE-2026-89699Unknown
In the Linux kernel, nfsd4_decode_create() accepted an unbounded cr_datalen from the wire for NF4LNK symlink targets, allowing a client to force a kmalloc of up to the maximum RPC payload size (several MiB) per COMPOUND op. The VFS rejected oversized targets with ENAMETOOLONG, but the allocation had already occurred.
- CVE-2026-89698Unknown
In the Linux kernel, struct nfsd_genl_rqstp declared rq_daddr and rq_saddr as plain struct sockaddr (16 bytes). With an IPv6 NFS client connected, nfsd_genl_rpc_status_compose_msg() cast these fields to struct sockaddr_in6 (28 bytes), reading 8 bytes past the field and shipping a truncated IPv6 address plus part of rq_flags to userspace via netlink.
- CVE-2026-89697Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the BOTH_TIME_SET branch in nfsd_proc_setattr() called fh_verify() early so setattr_prepare() could inspect the dentry. This caused nfsd_setattr() to skip fh_want_write(), so notify_change() ran without a mount write reference.
- CVE-2026-89696Unknown
In the Linux kernel's nfsd module, a flaw allows subsequent operations to run after a FOREIGN PUTFH even when fh_dentry is NULL. A remote NFSv4.2 client can craft a COMPOUND request that triggers a NULL pointer dereference in the nfsd kernel thread. The issue affects configurations with CONFIG_NFSD_V4_2_INTER_SSC enabled.
Original NVD description (English source)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfsd: check client ownership when cancelling a copy-notify stateid On the OFFLOAD_CANCEL path (clp != NULL), manage_cpntf_state() freed the target cpntf state without checking ownership. The lookup key st->si_opaque.so_id is allocated cyclically (guessable) and the embedded clientid is the fixed per-net nn->s2s_cp_cl_id, so any authenticated NFSv4.2 client could cancel and free another client's copy-notify stateid. Compare the creating clientid recorded in state->cp_p_clid against the requesting client's cl_clientid and return nfserr_bad_stateid on a mismatch instead of freeing the entry.
