Bug#257120: kernel-source-2.4.26: Kernel panic with NFS traffic over IPsec
Package: kernel-source-2.4.26
Version: 2.4.26-2
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
The IPsec backport have some issues with NFS. Using an NFS export over
an IPsec channel causes an immediate kernel panic.
Scenario:
- 2 hosts, debian kernel 2.4.26, one NFS server, one NFS client
- IPsec channel is required for communications between the two hosts.
After SA establishing, mounting server export on the client does not
cause any problem. So listing the content of NFS export. Instead, trying
to copy a file from the export to the export raises an immediate kernel panic.
Only the client crashes, server continue to run as nothing is happened.
On the same machine, 2.6.7 run smoothly with IPsec and NFS.
