CVE-2012-5375

Vulnerability CVE-2012-5375 affects the Linux kernel’s Btrfs CRC32C feature. Local users can cause a denial of service (blocking file creation) by writing to a victim’s directory and creating a file whose name hashes to a specific CRC32C value, with impact noted as CVE-2012-5375 in multiple advis...

CVE-2012-5374

CVE-2012-5374: In the Linux kernel's Btrfs CRC32C hashing, pre-3.8-rc1 versions allow local users to trigger a denial of service by creating many files whose names map to the same CRC32C hash, extending kernel runtime. Verified by Nessus plugins describing a local DoS in Btrfs hashing within affe...
