CVE-2010-4529 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Integer underflow in the irda_getsockopt function in net/irda/af_irda.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.37 on platforms other than x86 allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel heap memory via an IRLMP_ENUMDEVICES getsockopt call.. EPSS estimates a 0.40% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
