Red Hat Security Advisory 2013-0566-01

Posted Mar 7, 2013

Authored by Red Hat | Site access.redhat.com

Red Hat Security Advisory 2013-0566-01 - The kernel-rt packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way UTF-8 characters were converted to UTF-16 in the utf8s_to_utf16s() function of the Linux kernel's FAT file system implementation. A local user able to mount a FAT file system with the "utf8=1" option could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, to escalate their privileges.
