Linux Kernel NFS ReadLink Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability

The Linux kernel is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability because the NFS client code fails to properly handle unexpected conditions.

Attackers controlling malicious NFS servers -- or performing man-in-the-middle attacks between NFS client and server computers -- may cause vulnerable NFS client computers to crash.

Linux kernel versions 2.4 through 2.4.31 are vulnerable to this issue.
