UnknownEPSS 0.45%
Last modified
CVE-2006-5751 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Integer overflow in the get_fdb_entries function in net/bridge/br_ioctl.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.18.4 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a large maxnum value in an ioctl request.. EPSS estimates a 0.45% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Description
Integer overflow in the get_fdb_entries function in net/bridge/br_ioctl.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.18.4 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a large maxnum value in an ioctl request.
