Descriptions

In FreeBSD before 11.2-STABLE(r340854) and 11.2-RELEASE-p5, an integer overflow error when handling opcodes can cause memory corruption by sending a specially crafted NFSv4 request. Unprivileged remote users with access to the NFS server may be able to execute arbitrary code.

En FreeBSD, en versiones anteriores a la 11.2-STABLE(r340854) y la 11.2-RELEASE-p5, un error de desbordamiento de enteros al manejar opcodes puede provocar una corrupción de memoria mediante el envío de una petición NFSv4 especialmente manipulada. Los usuarios remotos sin privilegios con acceso al servidor NFS podrían ser capaces de ejecutar código arbitrario.

Insufficient and improper checking in the NFS server code could cause a denial of service or possibly remote code execution via a specially crafted network packet. A remote attacker could cause the NFS server to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code on the server.
