Title
nbd: don't allow reconnect after disconnect
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nbd: don't allow reconnect after disconnect
Following process can cause nbd_config UAF:
1) grab nbd_config temporarily;
2) nbd_genl_disconnect() flush all recv_work() and release the
initial reference:
nbd_genl_disconnect
nbd_disconnect_and_put
nbd_disconnect
flush_workqueue(nbd->recv_workq)
if (test_and_clear_bit(NBD_RT_HAS_CONFIG_REF, ...))
nbd_config_put
-> due to step 1), reference is still not zero
3) nbd_genl_reconfigure() queue recv_work() again;
nbd_genl_reconfigure
config = nbd_get_config_unlocked(nbd)
if (!config)
-> succeed
if (!test_bit(NBD_RT_BOUND, ...))
-> succeed
nbd_reconnect_socket
queue_work(nbd->recv_workq, &args->work)
4) step 1) release the reference;
5) Finially, recv_work() will trigger UAF:
recv_work
nbd_config_put(nbd)
-> nbd_config is freed
atomic_dec(&config->recv_threads)
-> UAF
Fix the problem by clearing NBD_RT_BOUND in nbd_genl_disconnect(), so
that nbd_genl_reconfigure() will fail.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
