Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:nbd: don't allow reconnect after disconnectFollowing process can cause nbd_config UAF:1) grab nbd_config temporarily;2) nbd_genl_disconnect() flush all recv_work() and release theinitial reference:  nbd_genl_disconnect   nbd_disconnect_and_put    nbd_disconnect     flush_workqueue(nbd->recv_workq)    if (test_and_clear_bit(NBD_RT_HAS_CONFIG_REF, ...))     nbd_config_put     -> due to step 1), reference is still not zero3) nbd_genl_reconfigure() queue recv_work() again;  nbd_genl_reconfigure   config = nbd_get_config_unlocked(nbd)   if (!config)   -> succeed   if (!test_bit(NBD_RT_BOUND, ...))   -> succeed   nbd_reconnect_socket    queue_work(nbd->recv_workq, &args->work)4) step 1) release the reference;5) Finially, recv_work() will trigger UAF:  recv_work   nbd_config_put(nbd)   -> nbd_config is freed   atomic_dec(&config->recv_threads)   -> UAFFix the problem by clearing NBD_RT_BOUND in nbd_genl_disconnect(), sothat nbd_genl_reconfigure() will fail.
