Release Date: | 2008-08-12 |
The (1) real_lookup and (2) __lookup_hash functions in fs/namei.c in the vfs implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.25.15 do not prevent creation of a child dentry for a deleted (aka S_DEAD) directory, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (overflow of the UBIFS orphan area) via a series of attempted file creations within deleted directories.
