Descriptions

UDisks 2.8.0 has a format string vulnerability in udisks_log in udiskslogging.c, allowing attackers to obtain sensitive information (stack contents), cause a denial of service (memory corruption), or possibly have unspecified other impact via a malformed filesystem label, as demonstrated by %d or %n substrings.

UDisks 2.8.0 tiene una vulnerabilidad de cadena de formato en udisks_log en udiskslogging.c, lo que permite a los atacantes obtener información sensible (contenido de la pila), causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de la memoria), o, posiblemente, provocar otro impacto no especificado a través de una etiqueta de sistema de archivos mal formada, tal y como queda demostrado con las subcadenas %d o %n.

An uncontrolled format string vulnerability has been discovered in udisks when it mounts a filesystem with a malformed label. A local attacker may use this flaw to leak memory, make the udisks service crash, or cause other unspecified effects.
