Stack-based buffer overflow in the econet_sendmsg function in net/econet/af_econet.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36.2, when an econet address is configured, allows local users to gain privileges by providing a large number of iovec structures.

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.70%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
