[Download RAW message or body]
A flaw was found in NFS in the Linux Kernel. An attacker who is able
to mount an exported NFS file system is able to trigger a null
pointer dereference by an invalid NFS sequence.
This can panic the machine with a null pointer dereference and
therefore deny to the NFS server. Any outstanding disk writes to the
NFS server will be lost.
Upstream fix:
