CVE-2026-90151
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSv4: remove callback IDR entry on client allocation failure
nfs4_alloc_client() allocates an NFSv4.0 callback identifier before it finishes setting up the client. If any later initialization step fails, the error path frees the nfs_client directly with nfs_free_client(). That bypasses nfs_put_client(), which is where the callback IDR entry is removed during normal teardown.
A failed allocation can therefore leave cb_ident_idr pointing at a freed nfs_client. A later NFSv4.0 callback lookup by cb_ident would find the stale pointer and take a reference to it.

Make the callback IDR removal helper callable by the allocation failure path, and remove the callback identifier before freeing the client.
This was found by a local static-analysis checker for publish-before-free lifetime bugs and confirmed by manual inspection.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
