"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnfsd: validate symlink target length in NFSv4 CREATE\n\nnfsd4_decode_create() accepts an unbounded cr_datalen from the wire for\nNF4LNK symlink targets, allowing a client to force a kmalloc of up to\nthe maximum RPC payload size (several MiB) per COMPOUND op that persists\nuntil compound teardown. The VFS rejects oversized targets with\nENAMETOOLONG, but the allocation has already occurred.\n\nReject cr_datalen == 0 early with nfserr_inval and cr_datalen greater\nthan NFS4_MAXPATHLEN (PATH_MAX) with nfserr_nametoolong to bound the\nallocation."

"value": "AV:N - The flaw is reached through the in-kernel NFS server (nfsd) when a remote client sends an NFSv4 COMPOUND containing OP_CREATE of type NF4LNK over TCP/UDP port 2049; nfsd4_decode_create() runs during XDR decode of that compound.\nAC:L - A client fully controls cr_datalen on the wire; one COMPOUND with an NF4LNK target larger than PATH_MAX but within the RPC payload deterministically forces svcxdr_dupstr()/kmalloc of that size, with no race or attacker-uncontrollable condition.\nPR:N - The oversized kmalloc occurs in nfsd4_decode_compound() before SEQUENCE/session checks, PUTFH, fh_verify(), or export flavor enforcement; AUTH_NULL and AUTH_UNIX are accepted at the RPC layer, so an unauthenticated peer that can reach nfsd needs no host credentials.\nUI:N - Exploitation requires only attacker-sent NFSv4 COMPOUND RPCs; no administrator or end-user action on the server is needed beyond nfsd already listening.\nS:U - Impact is confined to kernel memory consumption on the NFS server within the same security authority; there is no VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or sandbox boundary crossing.\nC:N - The defect only copies attacker-supplied symlink-target bytes into a correctly sized kmalloc buffer; there is no out-of-bounds read, use-after-free, or other disclosure primitive.\nI:N - There is no memory corruption or attacker-controlled write; the buffer is sized to cr_datalen and is only a temporary copy that filesystems later reject with ENAMETOOLONG.\nA:H - Each COMPOUND can force a GFP_KERNEL kmalloc of up to the maximum RPC payload (several MiB) on an nfsd thread until compound teardown; flooding concurrent requests across nfsd threads can exhaust kernel memory and OOM or stall the host."
