Last modified

CVE-2004-0138 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The ELF loader in Linux kernel 2.4 before 2.4.25 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted ELF file with an interpreter with an invalid arch (architecture), which triggers a BUG() when an invalid VMA is unmapped.. EPSS estimates a 0.43% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
