Modified floppies can crash Linux
...for performing Denial-Of-Service attacks (if an
evildoer managed to put a floppy into your computer, why won''t he just
press the power switch?), although he can leave a modified floppy on your
desk. It is sufficient to just ls that floppy.
Sample exploit is at http://rainbow.mimuw.edu.pl/~ab171958/FAT.html#Linux
I tested this exploit on kernel versions 2.0.30, 2.0.31 and 2.0.32, it
always works.
