CVE-2010-2066

MEDIUM
New! CVE Severity Now Using CVSS v3

The calculated severity for CVEs has been updated to use CVSS v3 by default. CVEs that do not have a CVSS v3 score will fall back CVSS v2 for calculating severity. Severity display preferences can be toggled in the settings dropdown.

Description

The mext_check_arguments function in fs/ext4/move_extent.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.35 allows local users to overwrite an append-only file via a MOVE_EXT ioctl call that specifies this file as a donor.
