4 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.
