CVE-2026-89545
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sunrpc: defer rq_argp and rq_resp free until after RCU grace period svc_rqst_free() frees
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sunrpc: defer rq_argp and rq_resp free until after RCU grace period
svc_rqst_free() frees rqstp->rq_argp and rqstp->rq_resp synchronously
via kfree(), but defers the rqstp struct free via kfree_rcu(). After
svc_exit_thread() calls list_del_rcu() and svc_rqst_free(), there is
a window where RCU readers that started before list_del_rcu() can still
traverse the thread list and find the rqstp. These readers (e.g.
nfsd_nl_rpc_status_get_dumpit()) dereference rqstp->rq_argp, which has
already been freed — a use-after-free.
Fix this by moving the kfree of rq_argp and rq_resp into an explicit
call_rcu() callback alongside the struct free. Resources not accessed
by RCU readers (bvec, buffer pages, scratch folio, auth_data) remain
synchronously freed.
