CVE-2011-1090
Linux Kernel < 2.6.38 - Denial of Service via NFSv4 ACL Handling
Title source: llmDescription
The __nfs4_proc_set_acl function in fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.38 stores NFSv4 ACL data in memory that is allocated by kmalloc but not properly freed, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via a crafted attempt to set an ACL.
