<p>Squashfs is a compressed read-only filesystem for Linux. Squashfs is
|
|
intended for general read-only filesystem use, for archival use (i.e. in
|
|
cases where a .tar.gz file may be used), and in constrained block
|
|
device/memory systems (e.g. embedded systems) where low overhead is
|
|
needed.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted .sqsh
|
|
file using unsquashfs; possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary
|
|
code with the privileges of the process, or a Denial of Service
|
|
condition.

|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
