Linux kernel: nfsd: fix stale s2s_cp_stateids IDR entry for async COPY

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfsd: fix stale s2s_cp_stateids IDR entry for async COPY For an async COPY, nfsd4_copy() called nfs4_init_copy_state() before dup_copy_fields(), so the s2s_cp_stateids IDR was pointed at &u->copy->cp_stateid -- memory in the per-rqstp COMPOUND buffer that is reused by the next request.

What happened

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nfsd: fix stale s2s_cp_stateids IDR entry for async COPY

For an async COPY, nfsd4_copy() called nfs4_init_copy_state() before dup_copy_fields(), so the s2s_cp_stateids IDR was pointed at &u->copy->cp_stateid -- memory in the per-rqstp COMPOUND buffer that is reused by the next request. dup_copy_fields() copies only the value into async_copy, so the IDR slot dangled at the transient buffer for the whole background copy.

Any IDR walker then dereferences reused request memory: the laundromat reads cs_type from it and, if the bytes look like an expired NFS4_COPYNOTIFY_STID, follows into refcount_dec()/idr_remove()/kfree() on garbage; manage_cpntf_state() has the same exposure via idr_find().

Duplicate the fields first, then register the stateid on the stable async_copy. result->cb_stateid is unchanged.

Evidence summary (plain text)

Linux kernel: nfsd: fix stale s2s_cp_stateids IDR entry for async COPY (Sep 11, 2026).
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nfsd: fix stale s2s_cp_stateids IDR entry for async COPY

For an async COPY, nfsd4_copy() called nfs4_init_copy_state() before
dup_copy_fields(), so the s2s_cp_stateids IDR was pointed at
&u->copy->cp_stateid -- memory in the per-rqstp COMPOUND buffer that is
reused by the next request. dup_copy_fields() copies only the value into
async_copy, so the IDR slot dangled at the transient buffer for the whole
background copy.
CVSS 9.8 (version 3.1; evidence as of Oct 30, 2026; https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-89676).

About this data

This record was ingested from a data source. Retrieved: Oct 30, 2026, 14:52 UTC. Ingestion is not an independent editorial investigation.

NVD status: Received. Publication in the NVD is not evidence of exploitation.

A CISA KEV listing documents known exploitation, not necessarily a zero-day; absence from the catalog does not prove a vulnerability has never been exploited.

Technology tags indicate possible relevance, not verified exposure. Confirm the affected product, version, and configuration against your own inventory; KEVWire does not scan your systems.

A personal reading checklist on this device, not verified remediation.
