CVE-2005-0532
The reiserfs_copy_from_user_to_file_region function in reiserfs/file.c for Linux kernel 2.6.10 and 2.6.11 before 2.6.11-rc4, when running on 64-bit architectures, may allow local users to trigger a buffer overflow as a result of casting discrepancies…
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.52%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
