CVE-2023-53360
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSv4.2: Rework scratch handling for READ_PLUS (again)
I found that the read code might send multiple requests using the same
nfs_pgio_header, but nfs4_proc_read_setup() is only called once. This is
how we ended up occasionally double-freeing the scratch buffer, but also
means we set a NULL pointer but non-zero length to the xdr scratch
buffer. This results in an oops the first time decoding needs to copy
something to scratch, which frequently happens when decoding READ_PLUS
hole segments.
I fix this by moving scratch handling into the pageio read code. I
provide a function to allocate scratch space for decoding read replies,
and free the scratch buffer when the nfs_pgio_header is freed.
