CVE-2009-0748

Published: 27 February 2009

The ext4_fill_super function in fs/ext4/super.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.27 before 2.6.27.19 and 2.6.28 before 2.6.28.7 does not validate the superblock configuration, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) by attempting to mount a crafted ext4 filesystem.

From the Ubuntu Security Team

The ext4 filesystem did not correctly validate certain superblock fields. A local attacker could mount a malicious ext4 filesystem, causing a system crash, leading to a denial of service.
