Description Jule Slootbeek 2006-11-14 12:45:30 UTC 
MoKB reported the following bug in the 2.6.18 linux kernel and previous versions.

Failure to handle mounting of corrupt filesystem streams may lead to a local denial of service condition when SELinux hooks are enabled. This particular vulnerability is caused by a null pointer dereference in the superblock_doinit function.
