UnknownEPSS 0.39%

Last modified

CVE-2005-2873 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The ipt_recent kernel module (ipt_recent.c) in Linux kernel 2.6.12 and earlier does not properly perform certain time tests when the jiffies value is greater than LONG_MAX, which can cause ipt_recent netfilter rules to block too early, a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-2872.. EPSS estimates a 0.39% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
