CVE-2006-2935: Canonical Ubuntu Linux

Medium severity, CVSS 4.6. EPSS: 0.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The dvd_read_bca function in the DVD handling code in drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c in Linux kernel 2.2.16, and later versions, assigns the wrong value to a length variable, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a crafted USB Storage device that triggers a buffer overflow.

Affected products

• Canonical Ubuntu Linux: version 5.04 only; version 5.10 only; version 6.06 only
• Debian Debian Linux: version 3.1 only
• Linux Linux Kernel: from 2.2.16, up to and including 2.16.16
