UnknownEPSS 3.82%

Last modified

CVE-2008-2750 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The pppol2tp_recvmsg function in drivers/net/pppol2tp.c in the Linux kernel 2.6 before 2.6.26-rc6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel heap memory corruption and system crash) and possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PPPOL2TP packet that results in a large value for a certain length variable.. EPSS estimates a 3.82% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
