Subject: [PATCH] ceph: lock mutex in ceph_mds_check_access()
Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2026 18:47:07 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260824164707.225547-1-max.kellermann@ionos.com> (raw)

MDS session OPEN handling replaces mdsc->s_cap_auths under
mdsc->mutex, freeing the previous array and its strings.

ceph_mds_check_access() traverses this array without holding the
mutex.  A concurrent session reopen can therefore free the array while
it is being inspected, resulting in a use-after-free like this:
