UnknownEPSS 1.14%

Last modified

CVE-2005-4895 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Multiple integer overflows in TCMalloc (tcmalloc.cc) in gperftools before 0.4 make it easier for context-dependent attackers to perform memory-related attacks such as buffer overflows via a large size value, which causes less memory to be allocated than expected.. EPSS estimates a 1.14% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
