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

afs: Clear stale peer app data after address list changes

afs_fs_probe_fileserver() fetches the current endpoint state under
server->fs_lock, but leaves old_alist as NULL. Consequently,
afs_set_peer_appdata() treats every address list replacement as initial
setup and only binds the new peers; it never unbinds peers removed from
the old list.

An address refresh can therefore proceed as follows. CPU 0 replaces
server S's list and drops Pold without clearing Pold->app_data. The
server destroyer then clears only S's current peers and lets S reach its
RCU callback. After the callback frees S, CPU 1 handles a callback
through an RxRPC connection that still pins Pold, reads Pold->app_data,
and calls afs_use_server() on the freed object.

Preserve old->addresses for the peer app-data update so that removed
peers are cleared before the endpoint state is replaced. Also advance
both cursors when the old and new lists share a peer; activating the
old/new comparison without this would otherwise loop forever on the
shared entry.
