mm/shmem.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28-rc3, when strict overcommit is
enabled, does not properly handle the export of shmemfs objects by knfsd,
which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
dereference and knfsd crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via
unknown vectors.
