Vulnerability Type: Overflow +Priv +Info 
CWE ID: CWE-119
Summary: The ldm_frag_add function in fs/partitions/ldm.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39.1 does not properly handle memory allocation for non-initial fragments, which might allow local users to conduct buffer overflow attacks, and gain privileges or obtain sensitive information, via a crafted LDM partition table.  NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2011-1017.
Commit Message: Fix for buffer overflow in ldm_frag_add not sufficient

As Ben Hutchings discovered [1], the patch for CVE-2011-1017 (buffer
overflow in ldm_frag_add) is not sufficient.  The original patch in
commit c340b1d64000 ("fs/partitions/ldm.c: fix oops caused by corrupted
partition table") does not consider that, for subsequent fragments,
previously allocated memory is used.
