CVE-2026-89681 in Linux
الملخص
بحسب MITRE • 12/09/2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: fix layout fence worker double-reference race
The workqueue core clears WORK_STRUCT_PENDING before the callback is invoked, so delayed_work_pending() in lm_breaker_timedout() can return false while the fence worker is already running. This lets the breaker take a duplicate sc_count reference and schedule a new worker that coalesces with the in-progress one. The extra reference is never put, leaking the layout stateid.
Replace the racy delayed_work_pending() check with an ls_fence_inflight boolean set atomically with refcount_inc_not_zero() under ls_lock, and cleared under ls_lock before the final nfs4_put_stid() on the dispose path; the retry path intentionally retains it. Remove the self-rearm mod_delayed_work() at the top of the worker.
