Unlike NFSv4.1+, an NFSv4.0 client\nhas no session (clp->cl_session is NULL; it uses clp->cl_slot_tbl), so\nI/O to a v4.0 flexfiles DS oopses:\n\n  - nfs4_init_ds_session() dereferences clp->cl_session->session_state\n    while seeding the DS lease. It also only seeds cl_lease_time when\n    NFS4_SESSION_INITING is set; without a session that never happens, so\n    cl_lease_time stays 0 and nfs4_renew_state() busy-loops, requeuing\n    every 5 seconds. Seed the lease whenever there is no session and\n    return before touching session state.\n\n  - ff_layout_async_handle_error_v4() dereferences\n    clp->cl_session->fc_slot_table on every DS I/O error. Fall back to the\n    v4.0 transport slot table (clp->cl_slot_tbl) when there is no session.","cvssScore":7.5,"cvssSeverity":"HIGH","cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","cwes":[],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/163c16e01f53fc8eb8d0f3484ae6c382265ecbbd","tags":[]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2b03ebbf8d5e8f6af4ecd6c65375232dd1ec32cc","tags":[]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/436a214514e24103159aea455147d58b44a8a585","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[],"hasPoc":false,"ai":null}
