Descriptions

The UDF filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.18.2 does not ensure that space is available for storing a symlink target's name along with a trailing \0 character, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information via a crafted filesystem image, related to fs/udf/symlink.c and fs/udf/unicode.c.

Vulnerabilidad en la implementación del sistema de archivos UDF en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a 3.18.2, no asegura que haya espacio disponible para almacenar el nombre de destino de un link simbólico junto con el carácter \0 al final, lo que permite a usuarios locales obtener información sensible a través de una imagen de sistema de archivos manipulados, relacionado con fs/udf/symlink.c y fs/udf/unicode.c.

An update that solves 14 vulnerabilities and has 45 fixes is now available. The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP3 kernel was updated to receive various security and bug fixes.
