CVE-2024-53216 affecting package kernel 5.15.200.1-1
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: release svc_expkey/svc_export with rcu_work
The last reference for cache_head can be reduced to zero in c_show
and e_show(using rcu_read_lock and rcu_read_unlock). Consequently,
svc_export_put and expkey_put will be invoked, leading to two
issues:
1. The svc_export_put will directly free ex_uuid. However,
e_show/c_show will access ex_uuid after cache_put, which can
trigger a use-after-free issue, shown below.

2. We cannot sleep while using rcu_read_lock/rcu_read_unlock.
However, svc_export_put/expkey_put will call path_put, which
subsequently triggers a sleeping operation due to the following
dput.

Fix these issues by using rcu_work to help release
svc_expkey/svc_export. This approach allows for an asynchronous
context to invoke path_put and also facilitates the freeing of
uuid/exp/key after an RCU grace period.
