** Description changed: - [nfs: information leakage] + The nfs_can_extend_write function in fs/nfs/write.c in the Linux kernel + before 3.13.3 relies on a write delegation to extend a write operation + without a certain up-to-date verification, which allows local users to + obtain sensitive information from kernel memory in opportunistic + circumstances by writing to a file in an NFS filesystem and then reading + the same file.
