CVE-2006-6653
Last modified
CVE-2006-6653 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The accept function in NetBSD-current before 20061023, NetBSD 3.0 and 3.0.1 before 20061024, and NetBSD 2.x before 20061029 allows local users to cause a denial of service (socket consumption) via an invalid (1) name or (2) namelen parameter, which may result in the socket never being closed (aka "a dangling socket").. EPSS estimates a 0.24% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
