Package: pmount Version: 0.9.13-2 Severity: important Tags: security --- Please enter the report below this line. ---
One could crash (kernel-panic) someones system by only providing an erroneous ext2/3 with error-behavior in the superblock set to panic on a removable media device e.g. a memory stick. (This ist done with tune2fs -e panic ...) When the filesystem is being mounted the system kernel-panics. On systems which automatically mount plugged in devices this is fatal. So pmount should imply the option errors=continue to mount on filesystems supporting it. --- System information. --- Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux 2.6.21-1-686 Debian Release: lenny/sid 800 unstable debian.ethz.ch 800 unstable deb.koalatux.ch 790 experimental debian.ethz.ch 500 testing debian.ethz.ch --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed ==============================-+-=========== libc6 (>= 2.5-5) | 2.5-9+b1 libdbus-1-3 (>= 0.94) | 1.0.2-5 libhal-storage1 (>= 0.5.9) | 0.5.9-3 libhal1 (>= 0.5.9) | 0.5.9-3 libsysfs2 | 2.1.0-2
