"The Linux kernel NFSD implementation prior to versions 5.19.17 and
6.0.2 are vulnerable to buffer overflow. NFSD tracks the number of
pages held by each NFSD thread by combining the receive and send
buffers of a remote procedure call (RPC) into a single array of pages.
A client can force the send buffer to shrink by sending an RPC message
over TCP with garbage data added at the end of the message. The RPC
message with garbage data is still correctly formed according to the
specification and is passed forward to handlers. Vulnerable code in
NFSD is not expecting the oversized request and writes beyond the
allocated buffer space.

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
