## Summary

## Description

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

NFSD: Prevent post-shutdown use-after-free in unlock_filesystem

Writing a filesystem path to /proc/fs/nfsd/unlock_filesystem runs
nfsd4_cancel_copy_by_sb() before nfsd_mutex is held and before the
handler confirms that nn->nfsd_serv is set. Once nfsd has shut down,
nfs4_state_destroy_net() has freed nn->conf_id_hashtbl but left the
pointer intact, so the cancel helper iterates freed slab memory as an
array of struct list_head and then dereferences a bogus nfs4_client
when it takes clp->async_lock. A local administrator holding
CAP_SYS_ADMIN can reach this use-after-free by stopping the server and
then writing to unlock_filesystem; KASAN reports a slab-use-after-free
read in nfsd4_cancel_copy_by_sb().

nfsd4_revoke_states() walks the same state tables and for that reason
already runs only under nfsd_mutex with nn->nfsd_serv confirmed
present. Move the async COPY cancel into that protected section so
every NFSv4 state-table walker on this path observes a running server.
Async copies exist only while the server runs, so gating the cancel on
nn->nfsd_serv loses nothing.
