NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-xen-devel package and not the kernel-xen-devel package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:5 relevant fixed versions and status.

The NFS implementation in Linux kernel before 2.6.31-rc6 calls certain functions without properly initializing certain data, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and O_DIRECT oops), as demonstrated using diotest4 from LTP.
