CVE-2014-9728: Linux Kernel

Medium severity, CVSS 4.9. EPSS: 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The UDF filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.18.2 does not validate certain lengths, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read and system crash) via a crafted filesystem image, related to fs/udf/inode.c and fs/udf/symlink.c.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: up to and including 3.18.1
