FKIE_CVE-2008-5701
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2008-12-22 15:30 - Updated: 2026-06-16 23:00
Severity
Summary
Array index error in arch/mips/kernel/scall64-o32.S in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28-rc8 on 64-bit MIPS platforms allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via an o32 syscall with a small syscall number, which leads to an attempted read operation outside the bounds of the syscall table.
