CVE-2026-89684

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfsd: fix cpntf publish race in nfs4_init_cp_state nfs4_alloc_init_cpntf_state() published the new cpntf entry into the s2s_cp_stateids IDR (with cs_type set) in one s2s_cp_lock section, then took the lock again to list_add() it onto p_stid->sc_cp_list. In the gap the entry is reachable by so_id but cp_list is still {NULL,NULL} from kzalloc. A racing OFFLOAD_CANCEL (so_id is echoed to the client as cnr_stateid, so any NFSv4.2 client can drive it) reaches manage_cpntf_state() -> _free_cpntf_state_locked() and does list_del() on the zeroed list_head, oopsing the server. Fold the cs_type assignment and the list_add() into the same critical section as idr_alloc_cyclic(), so a concurrent lookup either misses the entry or sees a fully linked cp_list. INIT_LIST_HEAD() the entry after allocation and switch _free_cpntf_state_locked() to list_del_init() so a stale unlink is a no-op. nfs4_init_copy_state() passes NULL p_stid and skips the list_add, preserving NFS4_COPY_STID semantics.

Affected products and versions

NVD has not supplied machine-readable vulnerable CPE product/version entries for this CVE. This is an information gap, not proof that no products are affected. Check the vendor advisory references below.

Remediation & validation

  1. Identify exposure by comparing the affected product and version ranges with your asset inventory, SBOM and externally exposed services.
  2. Review the linked vendor security advisory or patch notes. Upgrade to a vendor-confirmed fixed release; do not infer a fixed version from the CVE description.
  3. Until patched, consider restricting network access or disabling the affected feature where operationally safe. These are temporary controls, not a substitute for a vendor fix.
  4. Validate the remediation with a version check and vulnerability rescan, then retain change evidence.

No fixed version is displayed unless it is explicitly established by a vendor advisory. Follow the vendor's release notes for exact product and branch applicability.
