CVE-2026-89543: Undefined Security Weakness

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

sunrpc: fix use-after-free in __rpc_clnt_handle_event and __rpc_clnt_remove_pipedir

Normal client creation goes through rpc_setup_pipedir(), which records clnt->pipefs_sb, but the mount-event path in __rpc_clnt_handle_event() calls rpc_setup_pipedir_sb() directly and never refreshes that field. The umount path also removes the directory without clearing clnt->pipefs_sb.

After a late pipefs mount or any remount, rpc_clnt_remove_pipedir() compares the current superblock against a stale pipefs_sb pointer and skips cleanup, leaving pipefs dentries whose inode private data still points at a freed rpc_clnt, leading to a potential use-after-free during subsequent rpc_info_open() or rpc_show_info() calls.

Fix this by properly updating clnt->pipefs_sb upon mount events and clearing it during unmount or failure paths.
