CVE-2011-2491

Publication date 6 October 2011

Last updated 24 July 2024


Ubuntu priority

The Network Lock Manager (NLM) protocol implementation in the NFS client functionality in the Linux kernel before 3.0 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system hang) via a LOCK_UN flock system call.

From the Ubuntu Security Team

Vasily Averin discovered that the NFS Lock Manager (NLM) incorrectly handled unlock requests. A local attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service.
