UnknownEPSS 0.43%

Last modified

CVE-2005-3356 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The mq_open system call in Linux kernel 2.6.9, in certain situations, can decrement a counter twice ("double decrement") as a result of multiple calls to the mntput function when the dentry_open function call fails, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via unspecified attack vectors.. EPSS estimates a 0.43% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
