Full title: Linux Kernel EXT4 Memory Corruption / SLAB Out-Of-Bounds Read Vulnerability 
Category: dos / poc
Platform: linux
Mounting a crafted EXT4 image read-only leads to a memory corruption and SLAB out of bounds reads (according to KASAN). Since the mounting procedure is a privileged operation, an attacker is probably not able to trigger this vulnerability on the commandline. Instead the automatic mounting feature of the GUI via a crafted USB device is required.
