In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sunrpc: fix use-after-free in __rpc_clnt_handle_event and __rpc_clnt_remove_pipedir
Normal client creation goes through rpc_setup_pipedir(), which records
clnt->pipefs_sb, but the mount-event path in __rpc_clnt_handle_event()
calls rpc_setup_pipedir_sb() directly and never refreshes that field.
The umount path also removes the directory without clearing
clnt->pipefs_sb.
After a late pipefs mount or any remount, rpc_clnt_remove_pipedir()
compares the current superblock against a stale pipefs_sb pointer and
skips cleanup, leaving pipefs dentries whose inode private data still
points at a freed rpc_clnt, leading to a potential use-after-free during
subsequent rpc_info_open() or rpc_show_info() calls.
Fix this by properly updating clnt->pipefs_sb upon mount events and
clearing it during unmount or failure paths.
