Last modified

CVE-2007-6694 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The chrp_show_cpuinfo function (chrp/setup.c) in Linux kernel 2.4.21 through 2.6.18-53, when running on PowerPC, might allow local users to cause a denial of service (crash) via unknown vectors that cause the of_get_property function to fail, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference.. EPSS estimates a 2.59% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
