  "details" : [ "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\nNFSD: Avoid calling OPDESC() with ops->opnum == OP_ILLEGAL\nOPDESC() simply indexes into nfsd4_ops[] by the op's operation\nnumber, without range checking that value. It assumes callers are\ncareful to avoid calling it with an out-of-bounds opnum value.\nnfsd4_decode_compound() is not so careful, and can invoke OPDESC()\nwith opnum set to OP_ILLEGAL, which is 10044 -- well beyond the end\nof nfsd4_ops[]." ],
  "statement" : "NFSD could call OPDESC() with opnum == OP_ILLEGAL, indexing past nfsd4_ops[] and causing an out-of-bounds read leading to a crash. A remote unauthenticated NFSv4 client could trigger this via a crafted COMPOUND, impacting availability of the NFS server. The fix sets op->opdesc = NULL, assigns opdesc only when opnum is in range, and removes the unconditional OPDESC() call.",
