CVE-2007-2764 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The embedded Linux kernel in certain Sun-Brocade SilkWorm switches before 20070516 does not properly handle a situation in which a non-root user creates a kernel process, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (oops and device reboot) via unspecified vectors.. EPSS estimates a 2.40% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
