UnknownEPSS 2.82%

Last modified

CVE-2005-4635 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The nl_fib_input function in fib_frontend.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.15 does not check for valid lengths of the header and payload, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory reference) via malformed fib_lookup netlink messages.. EPSS estimates a 2.82% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
