Last modified

CVE-2008-0600 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The vmsplice_to_pipe function in Linux kernel 2.6.17 through 2.6.24.1 does not validate a certain userspace pointer before dereference, which allows local users to gain root privileges via crafted arguments in a vmsplice system call, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-0009 and CVE-2008-0010.. EPSS estimates a 3.54% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
