There is a remote vulnerability for nfs4-client. That allows a remote NFSv4 server or attacker in middle rewrite memory on NFSv4 client. Of course if encryption is used then only server can do corruption. 1. Client send GETATTR request to server, but there are not checks for bitmask in reply from server. Therefore server may return more attributes than were asked. 2. Pointer to struct nfs_fattr is passed to decode_getfattr(), but that parameter is considered as pointer to struct nfs4_fs_locations in case set FATTR4_WORD0_FS_LOCATIONS in reply from server. But there is no check for pointer type that was passed! 3. Remote side can set FATTR4_WORD0_FS_LOCATIONS and fill datas fsattr4_fs_locations in reply to client. 4. sizeof(nfs4_fs_locations) is about 92080 bytes in kernel 2.6.38 So ~ 90 Kbytes can be overwritten in memory of NFSv4 client. Fortunately, nfs_fattr is allocated via kmalloc and is not stored in stack. So generally kmalloc-192 is corrupted. Affected kernels: all from v2.6.18 Commit 683b57b435326eb512c7305892683b6205669448 "NFSv4: Implement the fs_locations function call" 5. Simple testcase for NFSv4 server: add next code at begin of nfsd4_encode_fattr() if (!strcmp("filexxx", dentry->d_name.name)) { bmval[0] |= FATTR4_WORD0_FS_LOCATIONS; bmval0 |= FATTR4_WORD0_FS_LOCATIONS; } NFSv4 client that tries to touch 'filexxx' will catch kernel panic.
