A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NFS41+ subsystem. NFS41+ shares mounted in different network namespaces at the same time can make bc_svc_process() use wrong back-channel IDs and cause a use-after-free vulnerability. Thus a malicious container user can cause a host kernel memory corruption and a system panic. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out.

CVSS 3.0 Base Score 8. CVSS Attack Vector: adjacent_network. CVSS Attack Complexity: low. CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:A/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
CVSS 2.0 Base Score 6.7. CVSS Attack Vector: adjacent_network. CVSS Attack Complexity: low. CVSS Vector: (AV:A/AC:L/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:C).
The following example demonstrates the weakness.
}free(buf3R2);
The following code illustrates a use after free error:
}free(ptr);logError("operation aborted before commit", ptr);
When an error occurs, the pointer is immediately freed. However, this pointer is later incorrectly used in the logError function.
