Technical details
An integer overflow in the volume_id_get_buffer() function occurs when calculating buffer boundaries during filesystem metadata probing, triggered by an offset and length wraparound. The vulnerability requires a local attack vector involving user interaction with an attacker-supplied storage device or filesystem image. Exploitation causes an application crash (denial of service) with no information disclosure or code execution.
