CVE-2006-6318
The show_elog_list function in elogd.c in elog 2.6.2 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) by attempting to access a logbook whose name begins with "global," which results in a NULL pointer dereference.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (3.28%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
