| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in BusyBox. The volume identification component fails to properly validate cluster parameters when analyzing specially formatted FAT filesystems. An attacker able to present a crafted storage device or disk image can trigger a divide-by-zero condition when partition scanning utilities inspect the volume. This issue causes the probing utilities to crash unexpectedly, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) that can disrupt device discovery and system boot operations.
