Statement: A slab-out-of-bounds write was discovered in udf_find_entry() due to incorrect allocation size when handling long filenames in split name descriptors. This can be triggered by mounting a crafted UDF image and attempting to create a file with a specially constructed name. Although local privileges are required, the flaw allows kernel memory corruption, leading to potential privilege escalation or DoS.
