      <title>CVE-2026-89712 — NFSD: restart ssc_expire_umount walk after dropping nfsd_ssc_lock</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2026-89712</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;NFSD: restart ssc_expire_umount walk after dropping nfsd_ssc_lock&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;nfsd4_ssc_expire_umount() walks nn-&amp;gt;nfsd_ssc_mount_list with
list_for_each_entry_safe(ni, tmp, ...).  For each expired entry it
sets nsui_busy = true, drops nfsd_ssc_lock to run mntput() on the
source vfsmount, then reacquires the lock to list_del + kfree the
entry and continue iterating via the macro&amp;#39;s saved tmp pointer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The nsui_busy flag protects the current ni from concurrent
nfsd4_ssc_setup_dul() finders during the lock-drop window, but it
does not pin tmp.  Another nfsd RPC thread that fails its source-
server mount and reaches nfsd4_ssc_cancel_dul() will, during that
same window, take nfsd_ssc_lock, list_del + kfree its own ssc_umount
item, and release the lock.  If that item is the saved tmp of the
expire walk, the next iteration dereferences a freed
nfsd4_ssc_umount_item.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Restart the walk from the head after the mntput() unlock window so
no saved next pointer survives the lock-drop.  The list is bounded
by the number of active inter-server source mounts (typically small)
and the expire delayed-work runs periodically rather than per-IO,
so the restart is cheap.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
