| Description: | The encode_share_access function in fs/nfs/nfs4xdr.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.29 allows local users to cause a denial of service (BUG and system crash) by using the mknod system call with a pathname on an NFSv4 filesystem. A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's NFSv4 (Network File System version 4) file system. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service by creating a file in a NFSv4 filesystem.
