Description
Description
A flaw was found in BusyBox. An integer overflow occurs in the volume_id component when calculating buffer boundaries while probing filesystem metadata. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by providing a specially crafted filesystem image on an attached storage device. When probed by utilities such as blkid, findfs, or mount, the application crashes, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) that prevents the system from resolving or mounting storage devices.

CWE
KEV
| CWE ID | Description |
|---|---|
| CWE-190 | The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This occurs when an integer value is incremented to a value that is too large to store in the associated representation. When this occurs, the value may become a very small or negative number. |
