Description
- Previous versions of the e2fsprogs package are vulnerable to multiple
- integer overflows that may be exploited by crafted filesystem images.
- In particular, this may allow a user with elevated privileges in a
- Xen guest domain to execute arbitrary code as root in domain 0 via
- a maliciously crafted filesystem image if e2fsck is run in domain 0
- on the guest-domain filesystem.
