CVE-2007-0822

The MITRE CVE dictionary describes this issue as:

umount, when running with the Linux 2.6.15 kernel on Slackware Linux 10.2, allows local users to trigger a NULL dereference and application crash by invoking the program with a pathname for a USB pen drive that was mounted and then physically removed, which might allow the users to obtain sensitive information, including core file contents.

Statement

Red Hat does not consider this issue to be a security vulnerability. On Red Hat Enterprise Linux processes that change their effective UID do not dump core by default when they receive a fatal signal. Therefore the NULL pointer dereference does not lead to an information leak.
