CVE-2008-2358 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Integer overflow in the dccp_feat_change function in net/dccp/feat.c in the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) subsystem in the Linux kernel 2.6.18, and 2.6.17 through 2.6.20, allows local users to gain privileges via an invalid feature length, which leads to a heap-based buffer overflow.. EPSS estimates a 0.41% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
