{"cve":"CVE-2026-93231","nvd":{"published":"2026-09-24T16:17:18.637","modified":"2026-10-21T13:21:05.710","status":"Received","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nlockd: fix swapped arguments in nlmsvc_match_ip()\n\nWhen releasing locks by server IP address via /proc/fs/nfsd/unlock_ip,\nnlmsvc_unlock_all_by_ip() calls nlm_traverse_files() with the server\nsockaddr as the opaque @data argument:\n\n\tnlm_traverse_files(server_addr, nlmsvc_match_ip, NULL);\n\nThe match callback is later invoked from nlm_traverse_locks() as:\n\n\tmatch(lockhost, host);\n\nwhere the first argument is the nlm_host that owns the lock, and the\nsecond argument is the @data that was originally passed down (here the\nserver sockaddr).  This is the convention every other match callback\nrelies on (nlmsvc_mark_host(), nlmsvc_same_host(), nlmsvc_is_client()):\narg1 is the real nlm_host, arg2 is the caller-supplied reference value.\n\nnlmsvc_match_ip() has had these two arguments reversed ever since the\nunlock-by-IP feature was introduced in commit 4373ea84c84d (\"lockd:\nunlock lockd locks associated with a given server ip\"):\n\n\treturn rpc_cmp_addr(nlm_srcaddr(host), datap);\n\nHere @host is actually the server sockaddr, so nlm_srcaddr(host)\ndereferences a struct sockaddr as a struct nlm_host and reads garbage\nat the offset of h_srcaddr; meanwhile @datap is actually the lock\nowner's nlm_host but is compared as a sockaddr.  As a result the\ncomparison practically never matches and locks are not released for the\nrequested IP.\n\nSwap the arguments so the lock owner's source address is compared\nagainst the requested server address:\n\n\treturn rpc_cmp_addr(nlm_srcaddr(datap), (struct sockaddr *)host);\n\n[ cel: fix the misleading typedef parameter names too ]","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0d72e78c9d38d5377a059a4837f82b65b91cdcf6","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/21bcb609e0ab1dd60f39ca3498f85808933bcc9f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4fe2db296c9cd897dd1fe06cc0ae9cbc13beefc5","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b9060689f49dc663e9a3d069c4a65ff63a836e66","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d34c2ac447fe0490ede828e0143e2cbcb59e6c77"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-22T16:41:11.231219466+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-93231","score":0.00168,"percentile":0.06154,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
