A flaw was found in BusyBox. The volume identification component fails to properly validate cluster parameters when analyzing specially formatted FAT filesystems. An attacker able to present a crafted storage device or disk image can trigger a divide-by-zero condition when partition scanning utilities inspect the volume. This issue causes the probing utilities to crash unexpectedly, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) that can disrupt device discovery and system boot operations.

Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in BusyBox ausnutzen, um Informationen offenzulegen, beliebigen Code mit erhöhten Berechtigungen bis hin zu Root-Rechten auszuführen oder einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand zu verursachen.
