Linux Kernel Coda_Pioctl Local Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Linux kernel is prone to a local buffer-overflow vulnerability.

Specifically, the vulnerability affects the 'coda_pioctl()' function of the 'pioctl.c' file.

A successful attack may result in a denial-of-service condition or arbitrary code execution with superuser privileges.

This issue may be related to the issues described in BID 12239 (Linux Kernel Multiple Unspecified Vulnerabilities).
