Descriptions
Buffer overflow in the xfs_readlink function in fs/xfs/xfs_vnodeops.c in XFS in the Linux kernel 2.6, when CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG is disabled, allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via an XFS image containing a symbolic link with a long pathname.
Un desbordamiento de búfer en la función xfs_readlink en fs/xfs/xfs_vnodeops.c en XFS en el kernel de Linux v2.6, cuando CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG está desactivado, permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria y caída del sistema) y posiblemente ejecutar código de su elección a través de una imagen XFS que contiene un enlace simbólico con una ruta demasiado larga.
