Overview
About vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: make sure exp active before svc_export_show
The function e_show was called with protection from RCU. This only
ensures that exp will not be freed. Therefore, the reference count for
exp can drop to zero, which will trigger a refcount use-after-free
warning when exp_get is called. To resolve this issue, use
cache_get_rcu to ensure that exp remains active.
