LOCALIO by definition requires the nfsd server to be on the same host, so there is no remote packet path to this code.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race: one set of threads issues concurrent I/O to enter nfs_local_open_fh, while another forces nfs_localio_disable_client()/nfs_uuid_put() to free the cached nfsd_file (via -ENOMEM/-ENXIO/-ENOENT from __nfs_local_open_fh or -EAGAIN from nfs_local_doio). The window is repeatedly retriable at will and widened by preemption under CPU pressure.\nPR:L - Any unprivileged local user with access to files on a LOCALIO-enabled NFS mount can drive both sides purely with read/write/close syscalls; no capability check exists anywhere along nfs_generic_pg_pgios \u2192 nfs_local_open_fh. The mount itself is a deployment precondition rather than a privilege the attacker must hold.\nUI:N - The attacker triggers the race entirely from their own concurrent threads; no victim action is needed once the localio mount exists.\nS:U - The use-after-free corrupts kernel slab memory within the same kernel security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - If the freed nfsd_file slot is reallocated, nfs_local_open_fh returns a pointer to a different live nfsd_file whose nf_file is then used for the NFS read, disclosing the contents of an unrelated file on the exported filesystem; more generally a UAF on the slab yields an arbitrary-read primitive.\nI:H - refcount_inc_not_zero() writes into freed/reallocated memory, and the returned stale nfsd_file is used for write_iter, corrupting a different file's data as well as another object's refcount, which enables a follow-on premature free and control-flow hijack.\nA:H - Use-after-free on the nfsd_file slab causes refcount warnings, slab corruption and oops/panic, and the corrupted refcount leads to a second premature free of a live nfsd_file \u2014 a repeatable local denial of service."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["fs/nfs/localio.c"], "versions": [{"version": "86e00412254a717ffd5d38dc5ec0ee1cce6281b3", "lessThan": "185a2f2ddabdcf999823f61de67f86376883920d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "86e00412254a717ffd5d38dc5ec0ee1cce6281b3", "lessThan": "fa7ab64f1e2fdc8f2603aab8e0dd20de89cb10d9", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["fs/nfs/localio.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.14", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.14", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.14.8", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.14.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.15", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.14", "versionEndExcluding": "6.14.8"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.14", "versionEndExcluding": "6.15"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/185a2f2ddabdcf999823f61de67f86376883920d"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fa7ab64f1e2fdc8f2603aab8e0dd20de89cb10d9"}], "title": "NFS/localio: Fix a race in nfs_local_open_fh()", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
