TITLE:
schroot "/tmp/shm" Temporary File System Denial of Service

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34971

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34971/

DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in schroot, which can be exploited
by malicious, local users to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

The security issue is caused due to schroot creating a new tmpfs file
system for every chroot. This can be exploited to exhaust all
available memory and crash a system by e.g. creating chroots and
filling their "/tmp/shm" file.

SOLUTION:
Fixed in the GIT repository.
