Descriptions
The parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal function in fs/isofs/rock.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (unkillable mount process) via a crafted iso9660 image with a self-referential CL entry.
La función parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal en fs/isofs/rock.c en el kernel de Linux hasta 3.16.1 permite a usuarios locales causar una denegación de servicio (un proceso de montaje imparable) a través de un imagen iso9660 manipulado con una entrada CL de auto referencia.
It was found that the parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal() function of the Linux kernel's ISOFS implementation did not correctly check relocated directories when processing Rock Ridge child link (CL) tags. An attacker with physical access to the system could use a specially crafted ISO image to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the system.
