Linux Kernel 5.16-5.18.2 - Use-After-Free in NFSv4 Referral Lookup

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NFSv4: Fix free of uninitialized nfs4_label on referral lookup. Send along the already-allocated fattr along with nfs4_fs_locations, and drop the memcpy of fattr. We end up growing two more allocations, but this fixes up a crash as: PID: 790 TASK: ffff88811b43c000 CPU: 0 COMMAND: "ls" #0 [ffffc90000857920] panic at ffffffff81b9bfde #1 [ffffc900008579c0] do_trap at ffffffff81023a9b #2 [ffffc90000857a10] do_error_trap at ffffffff81023b78 #3 [ffffc90000857a58] exc_stack_segment at ffffffff81be1f45 #4 [ffffc90000857a80] asm_exc_stack_segment at ffffffff81c009de #5 [ffffc90000857b08] nfs_lookup at ffffffffa0302322 [nfs] #6 [ffffc90000857b70] __lookup_slow at ffffffff813a4a5f #7 [ffffc90000857c60] walk_component at ffffffff813a86c4 #8 [ffffc90000857cb8] path_lookupat at ffffffff813a9553 #9 [ffffc90000857cf0] filename_lookup at ffffffff813ab86b
