CVE-2010-1436: Linux Kernel

Medium severity, CVSS 4.9. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

gfs2 in the Linux kernel 2.6.18, and possibly other versions, does not properly handle when the gfs2_quota struct occupies two separate pages, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) via certain manipulations that cause an out-of-bounds write, as demonstrated by writing from an ext3 file system to a gfs2 file system.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: version 2.6.18 only
