    NFSD: memory corruption due to writing beyond the stat array · 3aa6e0aa
    Konstantin Khorenko authored
    If nfsd fails to find an exported via NFS file in the readahead cache, it
    should increment corresponding nfsdstats counter (ra_depth[10]), but due to a
    bug it may instead write to ra_depth[11], corrupting the following field.
    
    In a kernel with NFSDv4 compiled in the corruption takes the form of an
    increment of a counter of the number of NFSv4 operation 0's received; since
    there is no operation 0, this is harmless.
    
    In a kernel with NFSDv4 disabled it corrupts whatever happens to be in the
    memory beyond nfsdstats.
