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

SUNRPC: Fix RPC client cleaned up the freed pipefs dentries

RPC client pipefs dentries cleanup is in separated rpc_remove_pipedir()

workqueue,which takes care about pipefs superblock locking.

In some special scenarios, when kernel frees the pipefs sb of the

current client and immediately alloctes a new pipefs sb,

rpc_remove_pipedir function would misjudge the existence of pipefs

sb which is not the one it used to hold. As a result,

the rpc_remove_pipedir would clean the released freed pipefs dentries.

To fix this issue, rpc_remove_pipedir should check whether the

current pipefs sb is consistent with the original pipefs sb.
