Summary

In the Linux kernel, a vulnerability in the UDF filesystem allows udf_read_tagged() to skip CRC verification when the CRC length exceeds the block size. A crafted UDF image can set an oversized CRC length to bypass validation entirely, accepting the descriptor based solely on a weak 8-bit tag checksum.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can supply a malicious UDF image that bypasses data integrity checks, potentially leading to unauthorized code execution or filesystem corruption.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version that rejects descriptors with oversized CRC length.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: udf: reject descriptors with oversized CRC length udf_read_tagged() skips CRC verification when descCRCLength + sizeof(struct tag) exceeds the block size. A crafted UDF image can set descCRCLength to an oversized value to bypass CRC validation entirely; the descriptor is then accepted based solely on the 8-bit tag checksum, which is trivially recomputable. Reject such descriptors instead of silently accepting them. A legitimate single-block descriptor should never have a CRC length that exceeds the block.
