ISS X-Force Database: linux-kernel-hfsplus-dos(46327): Linux Kernel hfsplus denial of service

Linux Kernel hfsplus denial of service

linux-kernel-hfsplus-dos (46327)

Medium Risk

Description:

The Linux Kernel is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error in the hfsplus_block_allocate() function. By mounting a specially-crafted hfsplus file system, a local attacker could cause the system to crash.

*CVSS:

Base Score:	4.9
Access Vector:	Local
Access Complexity:	Low
Authentication:	None
Confidentiality Impact:	None
Integrity Impact:	None
Availability Impact:	Complete

Temporal Score:	3.6
Exploitability:	Unproven
Remediation Level:	Official-Fix
Report Confidence:	Confirmed

Consequences:

Denial of Service

Remedy:

Upgrade to the latest version of the Linux Kernel (2.6.28-rc1 or later), available from The Linux Kernel Archives Web site. See References.

CVE-2008-4934: The hfsplus_block_allocate function in fs/hfsplus/bitmap.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28-rc1 does not check a certain return value from the read_mapping_page function before calling kmap, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted hfsplus filesystem image.
