CVE-2006-1859
Memory leak in __setlease in fs/locks.c in Linux kernel before 2.6.16.16 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via unspecified actions related to an "uninitialised return value," aka "slab leak."
LOW 2.1EPSS 0.45%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.45%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
