CVE-2010-1643

Linux kernel < 2.6.28 - Denial of Service via knfsd shmemfs Object Export

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

mm/shmem.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28-rc3, when strict overcommit is enabled, does not properly handle the export of shmemfs objects by knfsd, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and knfsd crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors.
