CVE-2009-2407
Heap-based buffer overflow in the parse_tag_3_packet function in fs/ecryptfs/keystore.c in the eCryptfs subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.30.4 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly gain privileges via vectors…
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.59%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
