CVE-2010-4650

Un desbordamiento de búfer en la función fuse_do_ioctl en fs/fusible/file.c en versiones del kernel de Linux anteriores a v2.6.37 permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio o posiblemente tener un impacto no especificado mediante el aprovechamiento de la capacidad de operar un servidor CUSE.

Aristide Fattori and Roberto Paleari reported a flaw in the Linux kernel's handling of IPv4 icmp packets. A remote user could exploit this to cause a denial of service. Vegard Nossum discovered a leak in the kernel's inotify_init() system call. A local, unprivileged user could exploit this to cause a denial of service. An error was discovered in the kernel's handling of CUSE (Character device in Userspace). A local attacker might exploit this flaw to escalate privilege, if access to /dev/cuse has been modified to allow non-root users. Various other issues were also addressed.
