Summary

In the Linux kernel, in the xprtrdma module, when an RDMA server returns a fault format reply, the NFSv3 client may treat it as a callback (bcall) when the bc service does not exist. This leads to a NULL pointer dereference in rpcrdma_bc_receive_call. The fix treats all calls as not a bcall when bc_serv is NULL.

Risk Assessment

NULL pointer dereference could lead to system crash (kernel panic) in environments using NFS over RDMA, which could be exploited by an attacker to perform a DoS attack.

Recommendation

Apply a Linux kernel update containing the fix that treats all calls as not a bcall when bc_serv is NULL.
