A flaw was found in BusyBox. When processing filesystem metadata, the volume identification component does not properly validate header values in HFS+ filesystems. An attacker able to attach a storage device or supply a specially crafted filesystem image can trigger an application crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) and preventing device resolution.
