| Subject: CVE-2024-35914: nfsd: Fix error cleanup path in nfsd_rename() |
| |
| Description |
| =========== |
| |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: |
| |
| nfsd: Fix error cleanup path in nfsd_rename() |
| |
| Commit a8b0026847b8 ("rename(): avoid a deadlock in the case of parents |
| having no common ancestor") added an error bail out path. However this |
| path does not drop the remount protection that has been acquired. Fix |
| the cleanup path to properly drop the remount protection. |
| |
| The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-35914 to this issue. |

| Mitigation |
| ========== |
| |
| The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest |
| stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual |
| changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel |
| release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or |
| supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to |
| the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this |
| issue can be found at these commits: |
| https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/331e125e02c08ffaecc1074af78a988a278039bd |
