CVE-2005-3179
drm.c in Linux kernel 2.6.10 to 2.6.13 creates a debug file in sysfs with world-readable and world-writable permissions, which allows local users to enable DRM debugging and obtain sensitive information.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.40%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
