Linux Kernel EXT4 Error Handling Denial Of Service
Posted by deepcore on November 2, 2016 – 12:06 am
Mounting a crafted EXT4 image as read-only leads to a kernel panic. Since the mounting procedure is a privileged operation, an attacker is probably not able to trigger this vulnerability on the commandline. Instead the automatic mounting feature of the GUI via a crafted USB-device is required.
