Last modified

CVE-2008-3247 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The LDT implementation in the Linux kernel 2.6.25.x before 2.6.25.11 on x86_64 platforms uses an incorrect size for ldt_desc, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly gain privileges via unspecified vectors.. EPSS estimates a 0.36% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
