From 0ba7536d5d47e4ecf2259a80b207158dc4e711eb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Mon, 7 Nov 2005 01:00:26 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] knfsd: Fix some minor sign problems in nfsd/xdr There are a couple of tests which could possibly be confused by extremely large numbers appearing in 'xdr' packets. I think the closest to an exploit you could get would be writing random data from a free page into a file - i.e. leak data out of kernel space. I'm fairly sure they cannot be used for remote compromise.
