What it is

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

nfsd: make sure exp active before svc_export_show

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

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

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

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

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

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

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