Last modified

CVE-2007-2875 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Integer underflow in the cpuset_tasks_read function in the Linux kernel before 2.6.20.13, and 2.6.21.x before 2.6.21.4, when the cpuset filesystem is mounted, allows local users to obtain kernel memory contents by using a large offset when reading the /dev/cpuset/tasks file.. EPSS estimates a 0.44% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
