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.

For Debian 6 Squeeze, these issues have been fixed in e2fsprogs version 1.41.12-4+deb6u2
