Subject: Re: kernel: btrfs: check for read permission on src
file in the clone ioctl
Ubuntu 10.4 ships with a kernel that supports btrfs:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/579585
In case the bug description needs clarification, the bug allows an
unprivileged user to clone files that can be opened for writing
without read permissions. Since cloning results in the creation of a
duplicate copy owned by the user who performed the cloning operation,
this is an information disclosure vulnerability.
