CVE-2008-3528

The error-reporting functionality in (1) fs/ext2/dir.c, (2) fs/ext3/dir.c,
and possibly (3) fs/ext4/dir.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.26.5 does not limit
the number of printk console messages that report directory corruption,
which allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service
(temporary system hang) by mounting a filesystem that has corrupted
dir->i_size and dir->i_blocks values and performing (a) read or (b) write
operations. NOTE: there are limited scenarios in which this crosses
privilege boundaries.
