UnknownEPSS 0.35%

Last modified

CVE-2006-0482 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Linux kernel 2.6.15.1 and earlier, when running on SPARC architectures, allows local users to cause a denial of service (hang) via a "date -s" command, which causes invalid sign extended arguments to be provided to the get_compat_timespec function call.. EPSS estimates a 0.35% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
