kernel: nfsd should drop CAP_MKNOD for non-root

nfsd in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28.9 does not drop the CAPMKNOD capability before handling a user request in a thread, which allows local users to create device nodes, as demonstrated on a filesystem that has been exported with the rootsquash option...

kernel: nfs: fix NFS v4 client handling of MAY_EXEC in nfs_permission

The nfspermission function in fs/nfs/dir.c in the NFS client implementation in the Linux kernel 2.6.29.3 and earlier, when atomicopen is available, does not check execute aka EXEC or MAYEXEC permission bits, which allows local users to bypass permissions and execute files, as demonstrated by file...

kernel: nfsv4 client can be crashed by stating a long filename

fs/nfs/client.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.23 does not properly initialize a certain structure member that stores the maximum NFS filename length, which allows local users to cause a denial of service OOPS via a long filename, related to the encodelookup function...

autofs default doesn't set nodev in /net

The default configuration for autofs 5 autofs5 in some Linux distributions, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux RHEL 4 and 5, does not specify the nodev mount option for the -hosts map, which allows local users to access "important devices" by operating a remote NFS server and creating special devic...

DEBIAN-CVE-2007-4135

The NFSv4 ID mapper nfsidmap before 0.17 does not properly handle return values from the getpwnamr function when performing a username lookup, which can cause it to report a file as being owned by "root" instead of "nobody" if the file exists on the server but not on the client...

NFS lockd deadlock

The nlmclntmarkreclaim in clntlock.c in NFS lockd in Linux kernel before 2.6.16 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service process crash and deny access to NFS exports via unspecified vectors that trigger a kernel oops null dereference and a deadlock...

Multiple mutt tempfile race conditions

Race condition in the safeopen function in the Mutt mail client 1.5.12 and earlier, when creating temporary files in an NFS filesystem, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files due to limitations of the use of the OEXCL flag on NFS filesystems...

security flaw

Linux kernel 2.6.x, when using both NFS and EXT3, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service file system panic via a crafted UDP packet with a V2 lookup procedure that specifies a bad file handle inode number, which triggers an error and causes an exported directory to be remounted...
