Jose Duart of the Google Security Team discovered a buffer overflow in e2fsprogs, a set of utilities for the ext2, ext3, and ext4 file systems. This issue can possibly lead to arbitrary code execution if a malicious device is plugged in, the system is configured to automatically mount it, and the mounting process chooses to run fsck on the device’s malicious filesystem.
CVE-2015-0247 Buffer overflow in the ext2/ext3/ext4 file system open/close routines.
CVE-2015-1572 Incomplete fix for CVE-2015-0247.
