NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream udisks2 package and not the udisks2 package as distributed by Ubuntu.

UDisks 2.8.0 has a format string vulnerability in udisks_log in udiskslogging.c, allowing attackers to obtain sensitive information (stack contents), cause a denial of service (memory corruption), or possibly have unspecified other impact via a malformed filesystem label, as demonstrated by %d or %n substrings.
