Linux Kernel NFS XDR Denial of Service

18
A vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel 2.4 branch allowing malicious users to cause a kernel panic.
The problem is that the “decode_fh” function in “nfs3xdr.c” fails to handle a negative size value in certain NFS calls. This allows malicious users to
cause a kernel panic.
