CVE-2005-3660

CVE-2005-3660 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Linux kernel 2.4 and 2.6 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion and panic) by creating a large number of connected file descriptors or socketpairs and setting a large data transfer buffer, then preventing Linux from being able to finish the transfer by causing the process to become a zombie, or closing the file descriptor without closing an associated reference.. EPSS estimates a 0.40% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
