UnknownEPSS 3.91%

Last modified

CVE-2005-2872 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The ipt_recent kernel module (ipt_recent.c) in Linux kernel before 2.6.12, when running on 64-bit processors such as AMD64, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) via certain attacks such as SSH brute force, which leads to memset calls using a length based on the u_int32_t type, acting on an array of unsigned long elements, a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-2873.. EPSS estimates a 3.91% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
