CVE-2005-3105: Linux Kernel

Low severity, CVSS 2.1. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The mprotect code (mprotect.c) in Linux 2.6 on Itanium IA64 Montecito processors does not properly maintain cache coherency as required by the architecture, which allows local users to cause a denial of service and possibly corrupt data by modifying PTE protections.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: version 2.6.0 only
