CVE-2008-3528 (GCVE-0-2008-3528)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2008-09-27 00:00 – Updated: 2024-08-07 09:45
VLAI?
Summary
The error-reporting functionality in (1) fs/ext2/dir.c, (2) fs/ext3/dir.c, and possibly (3) fs/ext4/dir.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.26.5 does not limit the number of printk console messages that report directory corruption, which allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (temporary system hang) by mounting a filesystem that has corrupted dir->i_size and dir->i_blocks values and performing (a) read or (b) write operations. NOTE: there are limited scenarios in which this crosses privilege boundaries.
Severity ?
No CVSS data available.
