What is CVE-2022-50410?

A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the NFSD component of the Linux kernel, which could be exploited by an attacker through the manipulation of RPC Call messages. This issue arises when a client sends a malformed RPC Call header that is excessively large, causing a shrinkage of the send buffer and potentially preventing the construction of the full maximum payload size. Mitigating this vulnerability is crucial to maintaining secure NFSv2 READ operations and overall system integrity.
