CVE-2018-14614

Published: 27 July 2018

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.17.10. There is an out-of-bounds access in __remove_dirty_segment() in fs/f2fs/segment.c when mounting an f2fs image.

From the Ubuntu Security Team

Wen Xu discovered that the f2fs file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate metadata. An attacker could use this to construct a malicious f2fs image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service (system crash).

Notes

AuthorNote
tyhicks
The affected user base for this issue is likely small since f2fs is
not the default filesystem and it is not widely used in Ubuntu
