--- title: "CVE-2018-12233\n | Ubuntu" description: Ubuntu is an open source software operating system that runs from the desktop, to the cloud, to all your internet connected things. url: https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2018-12233?format=md keywords: index, follow --- # CVE-2018-12233 Publication date 12 June 2018 Last updated 4 July 2026 --- Ubuntu priority **Medium** [Why this priority?](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#priority ) ## Cvss 3 Severity Score **7.8 · High** [Score breakdown](https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2018-12233?format=md#impact-score) Toggle side navigation ## Description In the ea\_get function in fs/jfs/xattr.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.1, a memory corruption bug in JFS can be triggered by calling setxattr twice with two different extended attribute names on the same file. This vulnerability can be triggered by an unprivileged user with the ability to create files and execute programs. A kmalloc call is incorrect, leading to slab-out-of-bounds in jfs\_xattr. ### From the Ubuntu Security Team Shankara Pailoor discovered that the JFS filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel contained a buffer overflow when handling extended attributes. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. ## Status Show unmaintained releases | Package | Ubuntu Release | Status | | --- | --- |
