  denial of service (crash) via a malformed filesystem that uses zlib
  compression that triggers memory corruption, as demonstrated using cramfs.
 Ubuntu-Description: 
+ A buffer overread was found in the zlib_inflate() function. By
+ tricking an user into mounting a specially crafted file system which
+ uses zlib compression (such as cramfs), this could be exploited to
+ crash the kernel.
