*** This bug is a security vulnerability *** You have been subscribed to a public security bug:
The Linux kernel supports a lot of different filesystem types. This is cool, it's part of what makes Linux so flexible and helped bring Linux to the mainstream. However, quality of filesystem implementations varies wildly and the upstream kernel community doesn't consider flaws in filesystems to be security issues: https://lore.kernel.org/linux- fsdevel/20250407-biegung-furor-e7313ca9d712@brauner/ Ubuntu has decided to make it easy for users to mount filesystems, for better or for worse. The filesystems that have had less dedicated bug hunting bring significant risk to Ubuntu users. We can make it harder to mount these filesystem types without affecting most Ubuntu users through some simple module blocklisting. System administrators can still enable these other filesystem types with relatively easy efforts and everyone else will have reduced risk of ring 0 privilege escalation issues. ** Affects: udisks2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Triaged ** Tags: dcr-incoming patch -- block less common filesystems by default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2114945 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Debcrafters packages, which is subscribed to udisks2 in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~debcrafters-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~debcrafters-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
