In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: widen nfsd_genl_rqstp address fields to sockaddr_storage
struct nfsd_genl_rqstp declares rq_daddr and rq_saddr as plain
"struct sockaddr" (16 bytes). When an IPv6 NFS client is connected,
nfsd_genl_rpc_status_compose_msg() casts these fields to
"struct sockaddr_in6 *" (28 bytes) and reads sin6_addr at offset 8..24,
which extends 8 bytes past the end of the 16-byte sockaddr field into
the adjacent rq_flags member. The 16-byte nla_put_in6_addr then ships 8
bytes of truncated IPv6 address followed by 8 bytes of rq_flags to
userspace via the NFSD_A_RPC_STATUS_SADDR6/DADDR6 netlink attributes.
This is reachable by any unprivileged process in the network namespace
because NFSD_CMD_RPC_STATUS_GET uses GENL_CMD_CAP_DUMP without
GENL_ADMIN_PERM. Fix by widening rq_daddr and rq_saddr to struct sockaddr_storage so the
IPv6 casts operate within bounds, copying sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage)
bytes in the memcpy calls so the full address is captured, and
zero-initializing the genl_rqstp stack variable to prevent leaking
uninitialized tail bytes through netlink.
