| Revision Date: | 2014-02-28 | Version: | 1 | | Title: | CVE-2014-2038 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (xenial) - medium. | | Description: | The nfs_can_extend_write function in fs/nfs/write.c in the Linux kernel before 3.13.3 relies on a write delegation to extend a write operation without a certain up-to-date verification, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory in opportunistic circumstances by writing to a file in an NFS filesystem and then reading the same file. An information leak was discovered in the Linux kernel's NFS filesystem. A local users with write access to an NFS share could exploit this flaw to obtain potential sensative information from kernel memory.
