Description Andrej Nemec 2016-11-15 06:39:14 EST 
Mounting a crafted EXT4 image read-only leads to a memory corruption and SLAB-Out-of-Bounds Reads (according to KASAN). Automounting a disk image either as USB or loopback is not configured by default on servers but is enabled on desktop environments.

Attackers with a remote connection will likely be unable to trigger this vulnerability on the commandline. Instead the automatic mounting feature of the GUI via a crafted USB-device is required.

The system will likely panic with a page fault, but attackers may be able to map another page in the correct location and be able to overwrite or corrupt memory possibly leading to privilege escalation.
