Description: 
 The zlib_inflate function in Linux kernel 2.6.x allows local users to cause a
 denial of service (crash) via a malformed filesystem that uses zlib
 compression that triggers memory corruption, as demonstrated using cramfs.
Ubuntu-Description: 
 A buffer overread was found in the zlib_inflate() function. By
 tricking an user into mounting a specially crafted file system which
 uses zlib compression (such as cramfs), this could be exploited to
 crash the kernel.
