CVE-2010-1436 Information

Description

gfs2 in the Linux kernel 2.6.18 and possibly other versions does not properly handle when the gfs2_quota struct occupies two separate pages which allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) via certain manipulations that cause an out-of-bounds write as demonstrated by writing from an ext3 file system to a gfs2 file system.
