Description GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot gentoo-dev 2011-10-08 17:45:39 UTC
CVE-2010-2537 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2010-2537):
  The btrfs_ioctl_clone function in fs/btrfs/ioctl.c in the Linux kernel
  before 2.6.35 allows local users to overwrite an append-only file via a (1)
  BTRFS_IOC_CLONE or (2) BTRFS_IOC_CLONE_RANGE ioctl call that specifies this
  file as a donor.

IN_PROGRESS from 2011? Is this bug still relevant?
Comment 2 Aaron Bauman (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2018-04-04 17:41:28 UTC
There are no longer any 2.x kernels available in the repository with the exception of sys-kernel/xbox-sources which is unsupported by security.
