| Revision Date: | 2013-02-28 | Version: | 1 | | Title: | CVE-2013-1773 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (trusty) - medium. | | Description: | Buffer overflow in the VFAT filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.3 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (system crash) via a VFAT write operation on a filesystem with the utf8 mount option, which is not properly handled during UTF-8 to UTF-16 conversion. A flaw was discovered on the Linux kernel's VFAT filesystem driver when a disk is mounted with the utf8 option (this is the default on Ubuntu). On a system where disks/images can be auto-mounted or a FAT filesystem is mounted an unprivileged user can exploit the flaw to gain root privileges.
