DESCRIPTION

* CVE-2014-5471, CVE-2014-5472: Privilege escalation in ISO filesystem implementation.

The parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal() function in the ISO filesystem driver
does not correctly check relocated directories when processing Rock Ridge
child link tags. An attacker with physical access to the system could use a
specially crafted ISO image to cause a denial of service or, potentially,
escalate their privileges.
