nvlist_pack() and nvlist_unpack are implemented recursively, which can cause the stack to overflow with a deeply nested nvlist; i.e. an nvlist which contains an nvlist, which contains an nvlist, which... Unprivileged users can pass an nvlist to the kernel via certain ioctls on /dev/zfs, which the kernel will unpack without additional permission checking or validation. Therefore, an unprivileged user can cause the kernel's stack to overflow and panic. Ideally, these functions would be implemented non-recursively. As a quick fix, this patch limits the depth of the recursion and returns an error when attempting to pack and unpack a deeply-nested nvlist.
