Description Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-08-22 05:12:53 UTC
From Ubuntu's latest :

Tim Yamin discovered that the driver for compressed ISO file systems
did not sufficiently validate the iput data. By tricking an user into
mounting a malicious CD-ROM with a specially crafted compressed ISO
file system, he could cause a kernel crash. (CAN-2005-2457)
