CVE-2012-3400
Heap-based buffer overflow in the udf_load_logicalvol function in fs/udf/super.c in the Linux kernel before 3.4.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted UDF filesystem.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (7.81%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
