Description Petr Matousek 2011-09-08 15:55:49 UTC
FUSE_NOTIFY_INVAL_ENTRY didn't check the length of the write so the
message processing could overrun and result in a BUG_ON() in
fuse_copy_fill().

User able to mount FUSE filesystems can use this flaw to crash the
system.

Comment 3 Petr Matousek 2011-09-08 16:03:32 UTC
Statement:

This issue did not affect the versions of Linux kernel as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 as they did not provide support for FUSE. This issue did not affect the versions of Linux kernel as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 as they did not backport the upstream commit 3b463ae0c6264f that introduced this issue.
