CVE-2014-6410 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The __udf_read_inode function in fs/udf/inode.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16.3 does not restrict the amount of ICB indirection, which allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop or stack consumption) via a UDF filesystem with a crafted inode.. EPSS estimates a 0.51% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
