Descriptions

Off-by-one error in the iov_iter_advance function in mm/filemap.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.27-rc2 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a certain sequence of file I/O operations with readv and writev, as demonstrated by testcases/kernel/fs/ftest/ftest03 from the Linux Test Project.

Error de superación del límite en la función iov_iter_advance de mm/filemap.c en Linux kernel versiones anteriores a 2.6.27-rc2 permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (caída del sistema) a través de una determinada secuencia de operaciones en ficheros de I/O con readv y writev, como lo demostrado por testcases/kernel/fs/ftest/ftest03 de Linux Test Project.
