From 7faf14a7b0366f153284db0ad3347c457ea70136 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Li Lingfeng lilingfeng3@huawei.com Date: Sun, 26 Jan 2025 17:47:22 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] nfsd: clear acl_access/acl_default after releasing them
If getting acl_default fails, acl_access and acl_default will be released simultaneously. However, acl_access will still retain a pointer pointing to the released posix_acl, which will trigger a WARNING in nfs3svc_release_getacl like this:

Clear acl_access/acl_default after posix_acl_release is called to prevent UAF from being triggered.
