CVE-2022-49280 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NFSD: prevent underflow in nfssvc_decode_writeargs() Smatch complains: fs/nfsd/nfsxdr.c:341 nfssvc_decode_writeargs() warn: no lower bound on 'args->len' Change the type to unsigned to prevent this issue.
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's NFS server component (NFSD) has been addressed. The issue was an underflow in the function 'nfssvc_decode_writeargs()', which could potentially lead to unexpected behavior. The vulnerability arose because the 'len' parameter in the 'args' structure did not have a defined lower bound, allowing for the possibility of an underflow. This issue has been resolved by changing the parameter type to unsigned, eliminating the risk.
