What it is

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

nfsd: prevent panic for nfsv4.0 closed files in nfs4_show_open

Prior to commit 3f29cc82a84c ("nfsd: split sc_status out of

sc_type") states_show() relied on sc_type field to be of valid

type before calling into a subfunction to show content of a

particular stateid. From that commit, we split the validity of

the stateid into sc_status and no longer changed sc_type to 0

while unhashing the stateid. This resulted in kernel oopsing

for nfsv4.0 opens that stay around and in nfs4_show_open()

would derefence sc_file which was NULL.

Instead, for closed open stateids forgo displaying information

that relies of having a valid sc_file.

To reproduce: mount the server with 4.0, read and close

a file and then on the server cat /proc/fs/nfsd/clients/2/states
