Last modified
CVE-2015-7990 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Race condition in the rds_sendmsg function in net/rds/sendmsg.c in the Linux kernel before 4.3.3 allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by using a socket that was not properly bound. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-6937.. EPSS estimates a 0.35% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
