Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a remote user to cause memory corruption.

The vulnerability exists due to improper bounds checking in the CephFS NFS-export get_name functions when processing LOOKUPNAME replies containing oversized dentry names. A remote user can return a specially crafted LOOKUPNAME reply to cause memory corruption.

The issue is reachable when a CephFS mount is re-exported over NFS.
