ReiserFS is a file system alternative to the Linux ext2 file system. It
was originally written by Hans Reiser, and is freely available and
publicly maintained.

A problem has been reported in the handling of long file names with
ReiserFS version 3.5.28 on SuSE Linux distribution 7.0. It is possible to
create a directory with a long file name (the initial example displayed a
directory with 768 characters), then attempt to list the file system using
system binary ls or with built in shell function echo and create a Denial
of Service. Upon attempting to list or echo the contents of the
filesystem, a kernel buffer overflow occurs, overwriting variables on the
stack including possibly the return address, as well as crashing the
system. It may be possible for a malicious user to execute arbitrary code,
deny service to legitimate users, and potentially break out of a chroot
environment. This vulnerability is yet unverified.

Love + respect
