(E2fsprogs: Multiple buffer overflows)

    Rafal Wojtczuk (McAfee AVERT Research) discovered multiple integer
    overflows in libext2fs, that are triggered when processing information
    from within the file system, resulting in heap-based buffer overflows.
  
Impact :

    An attacker could entice a user to process a specially crafted ext2 or
    ext3 file system image (with tools linking against libext2fs, e.g.
    fsck, forensic tools or Xen's pygrub), possibly resulting in the
    execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the
    application.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
