<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>A remote attacker could entice a user to use ext2fs library (for
|
|
example, fsck) on a specially crafted Ext2/3/4 file system possibly
|
|
resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the
|
|
process or a Denial of Service condition.

</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>All e2fsprogs users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
|
|
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.42.12"
|
|
</code>
