kernel: nfs: use-after-free in svc_process_common()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NFS41+ subsystem. NFS41+ shares mounted in different network namespaces at the same time can make bcsvcprocess 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 ...

Flaw in offset_of and span_of causes SIGILL, drops uninitialized memory of arbitrary type on panic in client code

Affected versions of this crate caused traps and/or memory unsafety by zero-initializing references. They also could lead to uninitialized memory being dropped if the field for which the offset is requested was behind a deref coercion, and that deref coercion caused a panic. The flaw was correcte...
