Last modified
CVE-2006-0095 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. dm-crypt in Linux kernel 2.6.15 and earlier does not clear a structure before it is freed, which leads to a memory disclosure that could allow local users to obtain sensitive information about a cryptographic key.. EPSS estimates a 0.43% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
