UnknownEPSS 1.00%
Last modified
CVE-2004-1016 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The scm_send function in the scm layer for Linux kernel 2.4.x up to 2.4.28, and 2.6.x up to 2.6.9, allows local users to cause a denial of service (system hang) via crafted auxiliary messages that are passed to the sendmsg function, which causes a deadlock condition.. EPSS estimates a 1.00% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
