CVE-2007-0997
Last modified
CVE-2007-0997 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Race condition in the tee (sys_tee) system call in the Linux kernel 2.6.17 through 2.6.17.6 might allow local users to cause a denial of service (system crash), obtain sensitive information (kernel memory contents), or gain privileges via unspecified vectors related to a potentially dropped ipipe lock during a race between two pipe readers.. EPSS estimates a 0.25% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
