Description Marian Rehak 2021-09-13 11:48:56 UTC 
Several user-accessible mount helpers use insecure defaults which allow ext2/3/4 file systems to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) upon mounting a crafted image.  This is especially relevant when mounts can be caused by unprivileged users or are configured to happen automatically and completely unauthorized.
