Description

This exploit leverages a stack buffer overflow vulnerability to escalate privileges.
The vulnerable function nfs_convert_old_nfs_args does not verify the size
of a user-provided argument before copying it to the stack. As a result, by
passing a large size as an argument, a local user can overwrite the stack with arbitrary
content.
