Descriptions

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.

fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c en el cliente NFS en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a 4.2.2 no inicializa memoria correctamente para operaciones de recuperación de migración, lo que permite a servidores NFS remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (referencia a puntero NULL y pánico) a través de tráfico de red manipulado.

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel: the NFSv4.2 migration code improperly initialized the kernel structure. A local, authenticated user could use this flaw to cause a panic of the NFS client (denial of service).
