Last modified

CVE-2005-0529 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Linux kernel 2.6.10 and 2.6.11rc1-bk6 uses different size types for offset arguments to the proc_file_read and locks_read_proc functions, which leads to a heap-based buffer overflow when a signed comparison causes negative integers to be used in a positive context.. EPSS estimates a 0.53% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
