CVE Descriptions

A certain Fedora patch for the utrace subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.26.5-28 on Fedora 8, and before 2.6.26.5-45 on Fedora 9, allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash or hang) via a call to the utrace_control function.

EPSS

EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.

EPSS Score

The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.

EPSS Percentile

The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/31536/info Fedora 8 and 9 Linux kernel is prone to a local denial-of-service vulnerability. Attackers can exploit this issue to crash the affected kernel, denying service to legitimate users. Given the nature of this issue, attackers may also be able to execute arbitrary code, but this has not been confirmed. Note that this issue does not affect upstream kernel versions. Only the following Fedora distributions are affected: Fedora 8 prior to kernel-2.6.26.5-28 Fedora 9 prior to kernel-2.6.26.5-45 An attacker can exploit this issue with readily available tools. The following 'gdb' command is sufficient to trigger a kernel crash: gdb any_executable 1
