Last modified

CVE-2010-1488 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The proc_oom_score function in fs/proc/base.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.34-rc4 uses inappropriate data structures during selection of a candidate for the OOM killer, which might allow local users to cause a denial of service via unspecified patterns of task creation.. EPSS estimates a 0.34% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
