The vulnerability of the Linux operating system’s Network File System kernel allows a hacker to cause a service failure.

The vulnerability of the Linux operating system’s Network File System kernel lies in the lack of protection against unauthorized data processing during the execution of the .GETDEVICEINFO and LAYOUTGET operations in UDP packets. Exploiting this vulnerability can allow an attacker to cause service...

kernel: NFSv4 server does not properly validate layout type when processing NFSv4 pNFS LAYOUTGET operand

It was found that the NFSv4 server in the Linux kernel did not properly validate layout type when processing NFSv4 pNFS LAYOUTGET and GETDEVICEINFO operands. A remote attacker could use this flaw to soft-lockup the system and thus cause denial of service...
