UnknownEPSS 1.10%

Last modified

CVE-2006-7252 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Integer overflow in the calloc function in libc/stdlib/malloc.c in jemalloc in libc for FreeBSD 6.4 and NetBSD makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to perform memory-related attacks such as buffer overflows via a large size value, which triggers a memory allocation of one byte.. EPSS estimates a 1.10% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
