UnknownEPSS 0.65%

Last modified

CVE-2013-2929 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The Linux kernel before 3.12.2 does not properly use the get_dumpable function, which allows local users to bypass intended ptrace restrictions or obtain sensitive information from IA64 scratch registers via a crafted application, related to kernel/ptrace.c and arch/ia64/include/asm/processor.h.. EPSS estimates a 0.65% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
