Buffer Overrun Vulnerability in cd9660.util Utility

The cd9660.util utility has been reported prone to a local buffer overrun vulnerability. Excessive data supplied as an argument for the probe for mounting switch, passed to the cd9660.util utility will overrun the bounds of a reserved buffer in memory. Because memory adjacent to this buffer has been reported to contain saved values that are crucial to controlling execution flow, a local attacker may potentially influence cd9660.util execution flow into attacker-supplied instructions.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be used to prevent buffer overruns.
