Description:
 The ldm_parse_vmdb function in fs/partitions/ldm.c in the Linux kernel
 before 2.6.38-rc6-git6 does not validate the VBLK size value in the VMDB
 structure in an LDM partition table, which allows local users to cause a
 denial of service (divide-by-zero error and OOPS) via a crafted partition
 table.
Ubuntu-Description:
 Timo Warns discovered that LDM partition parsing routines did not correctly
 calculate block counts. A local attacker with physical access could plug in
 a specially crafted block device to crash the system, leading to a denial
 of service.
