CVE-2006-0742 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The die_if_kernel function in arch/ia64/kernel/unaligned.c in Linux kernel 2.6.x before 2.6.15.6, possibly when compiled with certain versions of gcc, has the "noreturn" attribute set, which allows local users to cause a denial of service by causing user faults on Itanium systems.. EPSS estimates a 0.39% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
