Descriptions

Stack-based buffer overflow in udisks before 1.0.5 and 2.x before 2.1.3 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long mount point.

Desbordamiento de buffer basado en pila en udisks anterior a 1.0.5 y 2.x anterior a 2.1.3 permite a usuarios locales causar una denegación de servicio (caída) y posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un punto de montaje largo.

The udisks package provides a daemon, a D-Bus API, and command line utilities for managing disks and storage devices. A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way udisks handled files with long path names. A malicious, local user could use this flaw to create a specially crafted directory structure that, when processed by the udisks daemon, could lead to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the udisks daemon. This issue was discovered by Florian Weimer of the Red Hat Product Security Team.
