CVE-2014-9420

Linux Kernel < 3.18.1 - Denial of Service via Rock Ridge Continuation Entries

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

The rock_continue function in fs/isofs/rock.c in the Linux kernel through 3.18.1 does not restrict the number of Rock Ridge continuation entries, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop, and system crash or hang) via a crafted iso9660 image.
