Description

The nfs_permission function in fs/nfs/dir.c in the NFS client implementation in the Linux kernel 2.6.29.3 and earlier, when atomic_open is available, does not check execute (aka EXEC or MAY_EXEC) permission bits, which allows local users to bypass permissions and execute files, as demonstrated by files on an NFSv4 fileserver.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (<= 2.6.29.3) • opensuse opensuse 11.0 • opensuse opensuse 11.1 • debian debian linux 4.0 • debian debian linux 5.0 • canonical ubuntu linux 6.06 • canonical ubuntu linux 8.04 • canonical ubuntu linux 8.10 • canonical ubuntu linux 9.04 • vmware esx 2.5.5 • vmware esx 3.0.3 • vmware esx 3.5 • vmware esx 4.0
