CVE-2015-8746: Other (NVD-CWE-Other)
value: fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c in the NFS client in the Linux kernel before 4.2.2 does not properly initialize memory for migration recovery operations, which allows remote NFS servers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and panic) via crafted network traffic.
CWE description: NVD is only using a subset of CWE for mapping instead of the entire CWE, and the weakness type is not covered by that subset.

Commit message: NFS: Fix a NULL pointer dereference of migration recovery ops for v4.2 client

---Steps to Reproduce--
<nfs-server>
# cat /etc/exports
/nfs/referal  *(rw,insecure,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,crossmnt)
/nfs/old      *(ro,insecure,subtree_check,root_squash,crossmnt)

<nfs-client>
# mount -t nfs nfs-server:/nfs/ /mnt/
# ll /mnt/*/

<nfs-server>
# cat /etc/exports
/nfs/referal   *(rw,insecure,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,crossmnt,refer=/nfs/old/@nfs-server)
/nfs/old       *(ro,insecure,subtree_check,root_squash,crossmnt)
# service nfs restart

<nfs-client>
# ll /mnt/*/    --->>>>> oops here
