CVE-2018-16884

kernel: nfs: use-after-free in svc_process_common()

Published Dec 18, 2018 CVSS 3.1 · 8.0 High EPSS 1.5% KEV · Not listed
Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NFS41+ subsystem. NFS41+ shares mounted in different network namespaces at the same time can make bc_svc_process() use wrong back-channel IDs and cause a use-after-free vulnerability. Thus a malicious container user can cause a host kernel memory corruption and a system panic. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out.
