Descriptions
The hfsplus_block_allocate function in fs/hfsplus/bitmap.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28-rc1 does not check a certain return value from the read_mapping_page function before calling kmap, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted hfsplus filesystem image.
La función hfsplus_block_allocate en el archivo fs/hfsplus/bitmap.c en el kernel de Linux anterior a versión 2.6.28-rc1 no verifica cierto valor de retorno de la función read_mapping_page anterior al llamar a kmap, lo que permite a los atacantes causar una denegación de servicio (bloqueo de sistema) por medio de una imagen del sistema de archivos hfsplus.
