CVE-2005-1913 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The Linux kernel 2.6 before 2.6.12.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) via a non group-leader thread executing a different program than was pending in itimer, which causes the signal to be delivered to the old group-leader task, which does not exist.. EPSS estimates a 0.39% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
