An issue has been found in e2fsprogs, a package that contains ext2/ext3/ext4 file system utilities. A specially crafted ext4 directory can cause an out-of-bounds write on the stack, resulting in code execution. An attacker can corrupt a partition to trigger this vulnerability.
For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 1.43.4-2+deb9u2.
We recommend that you upgrade your e2fsprogs packages.
For the detailed security status of e2fsprogs please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/e2fsprogs
NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
