CVE-2008-6560
Buffer overflow in CMAN - The Cluster Manager before 2.03.09-1 on Fedora 9 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption and memory corruption) via a cluster.conf file with many lines.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.31%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
