CVE-2006-6058

Publication date 22 November 2006

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Unknown

Why this priority?

The minix filesystem code in Linux kernel 2.6.x before 2.6.24, including 2.6.18, allows local users to cause a denial of service (hang) via a malformed minix file stream that triggers an infinite loop in the minix_bmap function. NOTE: this issue might be due to an integer overflow or signedness error.
