Subject: CVE Request: Stability fixes in UDF Logical Volume Descriptor
handling
Hi,
People (do not know who) reported to the kernel security team
and Jan Kara some UDF filesystem crashes.
Jan Kara did some fixes in the UDF fs and they were committed
to mainline already, both actual bugfixes and some more sanity
checking for hardening.
Buffer overreads or overwrites would have been possible.
I think a single CVE is sufficient.
The two mainline commits:

commit 1df2ae31c724e57be9d7ac00d78db8a5dabdd050
Author: Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz>

udf: Fortify loading of sparing table
Add sanity checks when loading sparing table from disk to avoid accessing
unallocated memory or writing to it.

udf: Avoid run away loop when partition table length is corrupted
Check provided length of partition table so that (possibly maliciously)
corrupted partition table cannot cause accessing data beyond current buffer.
