NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nfsidmap-devel package and not the nfsidmap-devel package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.7 relevant fixed versions and status.

A vulnerability was recently discovered in the rpc.mountd daemon in the nfs-utils package for Linux, that allows a NFSv3 client to escalate the privileges assigned to it in the /etc/exports file at mount time. In particular, it allows the client to access any subdirectory or subtree of an exported directory, regardless of the set file permissions, and regardless of any 'root_squash' or 'all_squash' attributes that would normally be expected to apply to that client.
