Title
NFSD: fix race between nfsd registration and exports_proc
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSD: fix race between nfsd registration and exports_proc
As of now nfsd calls create_proc_exports_entry() at start of init_nfsd
and cleanup by remove_proc_entry() at last of exit_nfsd.
Which causes kernel OOPs if there is race between below 2 operations:
(i) exportfs -r
(ii) mount -t nfsd none /proc/fs/nfsd
for 5.4 kernel ARM64:

CPU 2 :
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000010
PC is at : exports_net_open+0x50/0x68 [nfsd]
Call trace:

do_filp_open+0x70/0xe8
do_sys_open+0x154/0x248
Sometimes it crashes at exports_net_open() and sometimes cache_seq_next_rcu().
and same is happening on latest 6.14 kernel as well:

It reproduced simply with below script:
while [ 1 ]
do
/exportfs -r
done &
while [ 1 ]
do
insmod /nfsd.ko
mount -t nfsd none /proc/fs/nfsd
umount /proc/fs/nfsd
rmmod nfsd
done &
So exporting interfaces to user space shall be done at last and
cleanup at first place.
With change there is no Kernel OOPs.

"value": "AV:L - The race is reached through local syscalls only \u2014 `open()`/`read()` on the world-readable `/proc/fs/nfs/exports` racing against nfsd module init/exit; no NFS protocol traffic can trigger `init_nfsd()`/`exit_nfsd()` or the proc-entry path.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race: spinning open/read loops on multiple CPUs while triggering nfsd module autoload via `unshare -Urm` + `mount -t nfsd`, and the commit\u0027s own reproducer shows the oops occurs reliably (\"Sometimes it crashes at exports_net_open() and sometimes cache_seq_next_rcu()\").\nPR:L - `proc_create(\"exports\", 0, ...)` defaults to 0444, so any unprivileged local user can open and read the file, and module autoload is reachable from an unprivileged user namespace because `request_module(\"fs-nfsd\")` runs before the `FS_USERNS_MOUNT` capability check in fs/super.c.\nUI:N - The attacker performs all steps itself \u2014 the reader loop and the module-load trigger \u2014 with no action required from any other user or administrator.\nS:U - The corruption and its consequences are confined to the kernel\u0027s own memory and the same security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - On the unload path the reader holds a freed `cache_detail`, and `__cache_seq_start`/`cache_seq_next` walk freed hash tables whose contents `e_show()`/`svc_export_show()` format into the seq buffer returned to userspace, leaking arbitrary reallocated kernel heap data; the init path additionally dereferences an uninitialized `net_generic` slot as a pointer.\nI:H - This is a use-after-free on `nn-\u003esvc_export_cache` and the `nfsd_net` itself \u2014 the attacker can spray the freed slab and have the kernel treat attacker-controlled bytes as `cache_detail`/`cache_head` fields and list pointers, giving a path to controlled writes and control-flow corruption.\nA:H - The commit documents reproducible kernel oopses on both arm64 5.4 (NULL deref at 0x10 in `exports_net_open`) and 6.14 (paging fault in `cache_seq_next_rcu`), and an unprivileged user can retrigger the crash at will."

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
