CVE-2008-2358: Linux Kernel

High severity, CVSS 7.2. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Integer overflow in the dccp_feat_change function in net/dccp/feat.c in the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) subsystem in the Linux kernel 2.6.18, and 2.6.17 through 2.6.20, allows local users to gain privileges via an invalid feature length, which leads to a heap-based buffer overflow.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: version 2.6.17 only; version 2.6.18 only; version 2.6.19 only; version 2.6.20 only
