CVE-2010-5332 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.6/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel before 2.6.37, an out of bounds array access happened in drivers/net/mlx4/port.c. When searching for a free entry in either mlx4_register_vlan() or mlx4_register_mac(), and there is no free entry, the loop terminates without updating the local variable free thus causing out of array bounds access.. EPSS estimates a 0.39% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
