CVE-2008-5393
UPR-Kernel in Ubuntu Privacy Remix (UPR) before 8.04_r1 includes kernel support for mounting RAID arrays, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended isolation mechanisms by (1) reading from or (2) writing to these arrays.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.35%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
