Medium severity, CVSS 4.7. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The udf_read_inode function in fs/udf/inode.c in the Linux kernel before 3.19.1 does not validate certain length values, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (incorrect data representation or integer overflow, and OOPS) via a crafted UDF filesystem.

Affected products

• Canonical Ubuntu Linux: version 12.04 only
• Debian Debian Linux: version 7.0 only
• Linux Linux Kernel: up to and including 3.19
