Candidate: CVE-2006-5757 References: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=e5657933863f43cc6bb76a54d659303dafaa9e58 Description: Race condition in the __find_get_block_slow function in the ISO9660 filesystem in Linux 2.6.18 and possibly other versions allows local users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) by mounting a crafted ISO9660 filesystem containing malformed data structures. Ubuntu-Description: A race condition was found in the grow_buffers() function. By mounting a specially crafted ISO9660 or NTFS file system, a local attacker could exploit this to trigger an infinite loop in the kernel, rendering the machine unusable.
