UnknownEPSS 0.35%

Last modified

CVE-2005-0937 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Some futex functions in futex.c for Linux kernel 2.6.x perform get_user calls while holding the mmap_sem semaphore, which could allow local users to cause a deadlock condition in do_page_fault by triggering get_user faults while another thread is executing mmap or other functions.. EPSS estimates a 0.35% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
