Title
nfsd: fix clock domain mismatch in clients_still_reclaiming()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: fix clock domain mismatch in clients_still_reclaiming()
clients_still_reclaiming() computes a deadline from nn->boot_time
(CLOCK_REALTIME, ~1.7 billion) but compares it against
ktime_get_boottime_seconds() (CLOCK_BOOTTIME, seconds since boot).
The comparison is always false — it would take ~54 years of uptime
for BOOTTIME to exceed the REALTIME-derived deadline.
This means any client can hold the server in grace indefinitely by
sending CLAIM_PREVIOUS OPEN requests, blocking all non-reclaim
operations for all other clients.
Add boot_time_bt (CLOCK_BOOTTIME) alongside the existing boot_time
and use it for the deadline computation. boot_time (CLOCK_REALTIME)
is preserved for its cl_boot clientid-nonce role.

A remote peer reaches clients_still_reclaiming() by sending CLAIM_PREVIOUS OPEN or reclaim LOCK, which sets NFSD_NET_SOMEBODY_RECLAIMED and prevents grace from ending.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls the reclaim OPEN/LOCK RPCs that keep NFSD_NET_SOMEBODY_RECLAIMED set; no race or memory layout is required. Grace always starts with nfsd, and the broken REALTIME-vs-BOOTTIME deadline never fires, so the attacker can extend it at will.\nPR:N - Default nfsd exports accept AUTH_SYS/AUTH_NULL with no credentials. An unauthenticated network peer that is or becomes a recorded NFSv4 client can send CLAIM_PREVIOUS OPEN; no server account or capability is required.\nUI:N - Exploitation takes only attacker-sent NFSv4 RPCs after nfsd starts; no victim user action such as mounting or opening a file is required.\nS:U - The impact stays in the same kernel nfsd/lockd grace state. This is a service denial on the NFS server, not a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary crossing.\nC:N - The bug only miscompares grace deadlines and extends the grace period. It does not disclose kernel memory or file contents.\nI:N - No unauthorized modification of kernel or file data occurs. Other clients are blocked from new mutating operations, which is an availability effect rather than an integrity violation.\nA:H - Successful reclaim OPENs hold nfsd in grace indefinitely because the double-lease deadline never expires, so non-reclaim OPEN/REMOVE/RENAME/SETXATTR and lockd grace return NFS4ERR_GRACE and fully deny NFSv4 service to other clients."

Grace always starts with nfsd, and the broken REALTIME-vs-BOOTTIME deadline never fires, so the attacker can extend it at will.\nPR:N - Default nfsd exports accept AUTH_SYS/AUTH_NULL with no credentials. An unauthenticated network peer that is or becomes a recorded NFSv4 client can send CLAIM_PREVIOUS OPEN; no server account or capability is required.\nUI:N - Exploitation takes only attacker-sent NFSv4 RPCs after nfsd starts; no victim user action such as mounting or opening a file is required.\nS:U - The impact stays in the same kernel nfsd/lockd grace state. This is a service denial on the NFS server, not a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary crossing.\nC:N - The bug only miscompares grace deadlines and extends the grace period. It does not disclose kernel memory or file contents.\nI:N - No unauthorized modification of kernel or file data occurs. Other clients are blocked from new mutating operations, which is an availability effect rather than an integrity violation.\nA:H - Successful reclaim OPENs hold nfsd in grace indefinitely because the double-lease deadline never expires, so non-reclaim OPEN/REMOVE/RENAME/SETXATTR and lockd grace return NFS4ERR_GRACE and fully deny NFSv4 service to other clients."

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.
Experimental. This forecast is provided for visualization only and may change without notice. Do not use it for operational decisions.
Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

Nomenclature
- Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
- Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
- Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
- Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
- Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
Vulnerability timeline
Sightings and recorded dates, grouped by day · UTC
How durations are calculated
Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.
Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
