High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.94%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
procps-ng before version 3.3.15 is vulnerable to multiple integer overflows leading to a heap corruption in file2strvec function. This allows a privilege escalation for a local attacker who can create entries in procfs by starting processes, which could result in crashes or arbitrary code execution in proc utilities run by other users.
