UnknownEPSS 0.70%

Last modified

CVE-2009-0028 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The clone system call in the Linux kernel 2.6.28 and earlier allows local users to send arbitrary signals to a parent process from an unprivileged child process by launching an additional child process with the CLONE_PARENT flag, and then letting this new process exit.. EPSS estimates a 0.70% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
