CVE-2007-3848 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Linux kernel 2.4.35 and other versions allows local users to send arbitrary signals to a child process that is running at higher privileges by causing a setuid-root parent process to die, which delivers an attacker-controlled parent process death signal (PR_SET_PDEATHSIG).. EPSS estimates a 0.36% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
