"A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NFS41+ subsystem. NFS41+ shares
mounted in different network namespaces at the same time can make
bc_svc_process() use wrong back-channel IDs and cause a use-after-free
vulnerability. Thus a malicious container user can cause a host kernel
memory corruption and a system panic. Due to the nature of the flaw,
privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out.(CVE-2018-16884)");
