CVE-2021-47179

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NFSv4: Fix a NULL pointer dereference in pnfs_mark_matching_lsegs_return() Commit de144ff4234f changes _pnfs_return_layout() to call pnfs_mark_matching_lsegs_return() passing NULL as the struct pnfs_layout_range argument. Unfortunately, pnfs_mark_matching_lsegs_return() doesn't check if we have a value here before dereferencing it, causing an oops. I'm able to hit this crash consistently when running connectathon basic tests on NFS v4.1/v4.2 against Ontap.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: NFSv4: corrige una desreferencia de puntero NULL en pnfs_mark_matching_lsegs_return(). Confirme los cambios de144ff4234f _pnfs_return_layout() para llamar a pnfs_mark_matching_lsegs_return() pasando NULL como argumento de estructura pnfs_layout_range. Desafortunadamente, pnfs_mark_matching_lsegs_return() no verifica si tenemos un valor aquí antes de eliminar la referencia a él, lo que provoca un error. Puedo alcanzar este bloqueo de manera consistente cuando ejecuto pruebas básicas de Connectathon en NFS v4.1/v4.2 contra Ontap.
