 Description: 
  Race condition in the __find_get_block_slow function in the ISO9660
  filesystem in Linux 2.6.18 and possibly other versions allows local
  users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) by mounting a
  crafted ISO9660 filesystem containing malformed data structures.
 Ubuntu-Description: 
+ A race condition was found in the ISO9660 file system. By mounting a
+ specially crafted CD-ROM, a local attacker could exploit this to
+ trigger an infinite loop in the kernel, rendering the machine
+ unusable.
