CVE-2009-1265

Integer overflow in rose_sendmsg (sys/net/af_rose.c) in the Linux kernel 2.6.24.4, and other versions before 2.6.30-rc1, might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a large length value, which causes "garbage" memory to be sent.

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (3.17%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
