CVE-2026-72034

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

fhandle: reject detached mounts in capable_wrt_mount()

The recent fhandle RCU fix moved the mount namespace capability check
into capable_wrt_mount(), so a non-NULL mnt_namespace survives the
ns_capable() dereference. The helper still assumes the later
READ_ONCE(mount->mnt_ns) must be non-NULL because may_decode_fh()
checked is_mounted() first.

That assumption is not stable. A detached mount from
open_tree(..., OPEN_TREE_CLONE) can be dissolved on fput while
open_by_handle_at() is between those checks, and umount_tree() can
clear mount->mnt_ns. If the helper observes NULL, it dereferences
mnt_ns->user_ns and panics.

Return false when the RCU read observes a detached mount. This keeps
the relaxed permission path conservative: a mount no longer attached
to a namespace cannot authorize open_by_handle_at() access.
