CVE-2021-3178 log

Source
Severity Low
Remote Yes
Type Directory traversal
Description
fs/nfsd/nfs3xdr.c in the Linux kernel before version 5.10.10 and 5.4.92, when there is an NFS export of a subdirectory of a filesystem, allows remote attackers to traverse to other parts of the filesystem via READDIRPLUS. NOTE: some parties argue that such a subdirectory export is not intended to prevent this attack; see also the exports(5) no_subtree_check default behavior.
