GCVE Workshop - 22 September 2026 (14:00-18:00), Luxembourg Before The Vulnopticon Conference - Registration

CVE-2005-4618 (GCVE-0-2005-4618)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2006-01-05 11:00 – Updated: 2024-08-07 23:53
VLAI
Summary
Buffer overflow in sysctl in the Linux Kernel 2.6 before 2.6.15 allows local users to corrupt user memory and possibly cause a denial of service via a long string, which causes sysctl to write a zero byte outside the buffer. NOTE: since the sysctl is called from a userland program that provides the argument, this might not be a vulnerability, unless a legitimate user-assisted or setuid scenario can be identified.
Severity
No CVSS data available.
