From e911b8158ee1def8153849b1641b736026b036e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trond Myklebust Date: Wed, 26 Mar 2014 13:24:37 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] NFSv4: Fix a use-after-free problem in open() If we interrupt the nfs4_wait_for_completion_rpc_task() call in nfs4_run_open_task(), then we don't prevent the RPC call from completing. So freeing up the opendata->f_attr.mdsthreshold in the error path in _nfs4_do_open() leads to a use-after-free when the XDR decoder tries to decode the mdsthreshold information from the server. Fixes: 82be417aa37c0 (NFSv4.1 cache mdsthreshold values on OPEN) Tested-by: Steve Dickson Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 3.5+ Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust --- Reading git-format-patch failed
