In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Revert NFSD: Remove the cap on number of operations per NFSv4 COMPOUND
Ive found that pynfs COMP6 now leaves the connection or lease in a strange state, which causes CLOSE9 to hang indefinitely. Ive dug into it a little, but I havent been able to root-cause it yet. However, I bisected to commit 48aab1606fa8 (NFSD: Remove the cap on number of operations per NFSv4 COMPOUND).
Tianshuo Han also reports a potential vulnerability when decoding an NFSv4 COMPOUND. An attacker can place an arbitrarily large op count in the COMPOUND header, which results in:
[ 51.410584] nfsd: vmalloc error: size 1209533382144, exceeds total pages, mode:0xdc0(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO), nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0
when NFSD attempts to allocate the COMPOUND op array.
Lets restore the operation-per-COMPOUND limit, but increased to 200 for now.
