CVSS 3.1
5.5 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:HCVE-2021-47168
Medium (5.5) in linux linux kernel. EPSS 0.8% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFS: fix an incorrect limit in filelayout_decode_layout()
The "sizeof(struct nfs_fh)" is two bytes too large and could lead to
memory corruption. It should be NFS_MAXFHSIZE because that's the size
of the ->data[] buffer.
I reversed the size of the arguments to put the variable on the left.
