CVE-2005-0403
Last modified
CVE-2005-0403 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. init_dev in tty_io.c in the Red Hat backport of NPTL to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 does not properly clear controlling tty's in multi-threaded applications, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly gain tty access via unknown attack vectors that trigger an access of a pointer to a freed structure.. EPSS estimates a 0.40% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
