commit b602345da6 upstream.
If the result of an NFSv3 readdir{,plus} request results in the
"offset" on one entry having to be split across 2 pages, and is sized
so that the next directory entry doesn't fit in the requested size,
then memory corruption can happen.
When encode_entry() is called after encoding the last entry that fits,
it notices that ->offset and ->offset1 are set, and so stores the
offset value in the two pages as required. It clears ->offset1 but
*does not* clear ->offset.
Normally this omission doesn't matter as encode_entry_baggage() will
be called, and will set ->offset to a suitable value (not on a page
boundary).
But in the case where cd->buflen < elen and nfserr_toosmall is
returned, ->offset is not reset.
This means that nfsd3proc_readdirplus will see ->offset with a value 4
bytes before the end of a page, and ->offset1 set to NULL.
It will try to write 8bytes to ->offset.
If we are lucky, the next page will be read-only, and the system will
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at...
If we are unlucky, some innocent page will have the first 4 bytes
corrupted.
nfsd3proc_readdir() doesn't even check for ->offset1, it just blindly
writes 8 bytes to the offset wherever it is.
Fix this by clearing ->offset after it is used, and copying the
->offset handling code from nfsd3_proc_readdirplus into
nfsd3_proc_readdir.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
