The ldm_parse_vmdb function in fs/partitions/ldm.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.38-rc6-git6 does not validate the VBLK size value in the VMDB structure in an LDM partition table, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and OOPS) via a crafted partition table.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2011-1012 is a Linux kernel crash bug in LDM partition-table parsing. A crafted LDM partition table can trigger a divide-by-zero and kernel OOPS. The business impact is denial of service on systems that parse attacker-supplied or untrusted disk media/images while running affected kernels. Exposure is most plausible on old Linux kernels that may inspect untrusted disks, removable media, VM images, or storage supplied by local users. Modern maintained distributions are likely patched, but the provided data does not enumerate all vendor versions. Treat this as a legacy kernel availability risk. It is not described as remotely exploitable, but systems processing untrusted storage could be crashed. Patch or retire affected kernels during normal vulnerability remediation, escalating only for shared or critical hosts. Mitigation focus: Update affected Linux kernels using vendor security guidance.; Prioritize systems that parse untrusted disks, removable media, or VM images.; Avoid attaching untrusted block devices to unpatched systems..
