Descriptions
The nfs_can_extend_write function in fs/nfs/write.c in the Linux kernel before 3.13.3 relies on a write delegation to extend a write operation without a certain up-to-date verification, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory in opportunistic circumstances by writing to a file in an NFS filesystem and then reading the same file.
La función nfs_can_extend_write en fs/nfs/write.c en el kernel de Linux anterior a 3.13.3 se basa en una delegación de escritura para extender una operación de escritura sin cierta verificación actualizada, lo que permite a usuarios locales obtener información sensible de la memoria del kernel en circunstancias oportunistas mediante la escritura a un archivo en un sistema de archivos NFS y luego leyendo el mismo archivo.
