CVE-2015-8746 (published 2016-05-02T10:59Z)

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.

Severity: MEDIUM
CVSS v2 base score: 5.0 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)
CVSS v3 base score: 7.5, HIGH (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

cwe_id: NVD-CWE-Other
cwe_name: Other

msg: 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
