Subject: CVE-2024-50043: nfsd: fix possible badness in FREE_STATEID

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nfsd: fix possible badness in FREE_STATEID

When multiple FREE_STATEIDs are sent for the same delegation stateid,
it can lead to a possible either use-after-free or counter refcount
underflow errors.

In nfsd4_free_stateid() under the client lock we find a delegation
stateid, however the code drops the lock before calling nfs4_put_stid(),
that allows another FREE_STATE to find the stateid again. The first one
will proceed to then free the stateid which leads to either
use-after-free or decrementing already zeroed counter.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-50043 to this issue.

	Issue introduced in 6.9 with commit 3f29cc82a84c and fixed in 6.11.4 with commit 7ca9e472ce5c

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
