CVE-2011-2518: Linux Kernel

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

The tomoyo_mount_acl function in security/tomoyo/mount.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39.2 calls the kern_path function with arguments taken directly from a mount system call, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a NULL value for the device name.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: before 2.6.39.2 (fixed in 2.6.39.2)
