On timeout or\nsignal, the synchronous waiter drops that reference after calling\ntls_handshake_cancel().\n\nhandshake_req_cancel() returns false when handshake_complete() has\nalready marked the request complete. In that case the completion callback\ncan still be running, so dropping the callback-owned reference in the\nwaiter can free the lower transport before xs_tls_handshake_done() stores\nxprt_err or drops its own reference.\n\nIf cancellation loses to completion, wait until xs_tls_handshake_done()\nsignals handshake_done and let the callback release its reference. This\nmirrors the server-side handshake lifetime handling and keeps the timeout\nor signal return value unchanged."}],"metrics":[{"cvssV3_1":{"version":"3.1","vectorString":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","baseScore":9.8,"baseSeverity":"CRITICAL"},"scenarios":[{"lang":"en","value":"AV:N - The bug is in the SUNRPC TCP-with-TLS client handshake (xs_tls_handshake_sync), reached when a remote NFS/RPC peer completes RPC-with-TLS; a malicious server or on-path attacker with xprtsec=tls (anonymous TLS) drives handshake_complete() over the network against the client's 10s wait.\nAC:L - The attacker times TLS completion against the fixed XS_TLS_HANDSHAKE_TO window and can force repeated reconnects so tls_handshake_cancel() losing to handshake_complete() is reliably hittable, with no memory-layout guess or other condition outside attacker control.\nPR:N - No privileges on the victim host are required; a remote TLS peer only needs the client to initiate or re-establish an RPC-with-TLS connection, and the handshake runs after AUTH_TLS STARTTLS but before NFS credentials are verified.\nUI:N - No victim action is needed at attack time once an NFS xprtsec=tls/mtls mount exists, because idle disconnect or server-induced reconnect automatically re-enters xs_tcp_tls_setup_socket() and the handshake wait.\nS:U - The use-after-free corrupts kernel heap state in the SUNRPC client on the same host; impact stays within that kernel's security authority and does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary.\nC:H - When cancel loses, the waiter still xprt_put()s the callback-owned rpc_xprt reference, so sock_xprt can be freed while xs_tls_handshake_done() writes xprt_err and the connect worker still uses lower_xprt, a heap UAF enabling arbitrary disclosure.\nI:H - Use-after-free of rpc_xprt/sock_xprt (ops pointers, wait queues, socket state) allows heap reuse for arbitrary writes and control-flow hijacking, not merely a crash.\nA:H - The extra put can destroy the transport while the handshake waiter and connect worker still touch it, producing a kernel oops/panic or a hang in xprt_destroy waiting on XPRT_LOCKED, denying NFS/RPC service."}]}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["net/sunrpc/xprtsock.c"],"versions":[{"version":"75eb6af7acdf566c68d61e98e67ee2f235201c02","lessThan":"fb43997407bc17ee39bac81ab708101312e255f5","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"75eb6af7acdf566c68d61e98e67ee2f235201c02","lessThan":"15431820f448e09f8029b670d5c82aa5917d4625","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"75eb6af7acdf566c68d61e98e67ee2f235201c02","lessThan":"1de391e8b94e31b45c19c16dbf315e294810c7de","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"75eb6af7acdf566c68d61e98e67ee2f235201c02","lessThan":"7fbb6d2ab0391eb8d1f1a68e6bc263ef02cea61b","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"75eb6af7acdf566c68d61e98e67ee2f235201c02","lessThan":"a89dd597458848b463d284b15e42a8078beeb046","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["net/sunrpc/xprtsock.c"],"versions":[{"version":"6.5","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"6.5","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.157","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.109","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.50","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2.4","lessThanOrEqual":"7.2.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.3-rc1","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.5","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.157"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.5","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.109"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.5","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.50"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.5","versionEndExcluding":"7.2.4"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.5","versionEndExcluding":"7.3-rc1"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fb43997407bc17ee39bac81ab708101312e255f5"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/15431820f448e09f8029b670d5c82aa5917d4625"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1de391e8b94e31b45c19c16dbf315e294810c7de"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7fbb6d2ab0391eb8d1f1a68e6bc263ef02cea61b"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a89dd597458848b463d284b15e42a8078beeb046"}],"title":"SUNRPC: wait for in-flight client TLS handshake callback","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
