Last modified
CVE-2021-38202 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. fs/nfsd/trace.h in the Linux kernel before 5.13.4 might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read in strlen) by sending NFS traffic when the trace event framework is being used for nfsd.. EPSS estimates a 3.19% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
