Title:CVE-2013-4247 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (precise) - low.
Description:Off-by-one error in the build_unc_path_to_root function in fs/cifs/connect.c in the Linux kernel before 3.9.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system crash) via a DFS share mount operation that triggers use of an unexpected DFS referral name length. Marcus Moeller and Ken Fallon discovered that the CIFS incorrectly built certain paths. A local attacker with access to a CIFS partition could exploit this to crash the system, leading to a denial of service.
