kernel: udf: Avoid infinite loop when processing indirect ICBs

Published Sep 28, 2014 CVSS 2.0 · 4.7 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The __udf_read_inode function in fs/udf/inode.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16.3 does not restrict the amount of ICB indirection, which allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop or stack consumption) via a UDF filesystem with a crafted inode.
