Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in Linux Kernel up to 3.18.1 (Operating System). Affected is the function parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal of the component ISO 9660 Image Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a input validation vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-20. The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

The parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal function in fs/isofs/rock.c in the Linux kernel before 3.18.2 does not validate a length value in the Extensions Reference (ER) System Use Field, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a crafted iso9660 image.
