Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.98%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the iriap_getvaluebyclass_indication function in net/irda/iriap.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging connectivity to an IrDA infrared network and sending a large integer value for a (1) name length or (2) attribute length.
