Description:
|
| 5 |
Race condition in the __find_get_block_slow function in the ISO9660
|
| 6 |
filesystem in Linux 2.6.18 and possibly other versions allows local
|
| 7 |
users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) by mounting a
|
| 8 |
crafted ISO9660 filesystem containing malformed data structures.
|
| 9 |
Ubuntu-Description:
|
| 10 |
A race condition was found in the grow_buffers() function. By mounting a
|
| 11 |
specially crafted ISO9660 or NTFS file system, a local attacker could
|
| 12 |
exploit this to trigger an infinite loop in the kernel, rendering the
|
| 13 |
machine unusable.
