What it is

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

SUNRPC: make sure cache entry active before cache_show

The function `c_show` was called with protection from RCU. This only

ensures that `cp` will not be freed. Therefore, the reference count for

`cp` can drop to zero, which will trigger a refcount use-after-free

warning when `cache_get` is called. To resolve this issue, use

`cache_get_rcu` to ensure that `cp` remains active.

------------[ cut here ]------------

refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.
