CVE-2005-3356 (CCN-25302)

Assigned:2005-12-31
Published:2005-12-31
Updated:2023-02-13
Summary:The mq_open system call in Linux kernel 2.6.9, in certain situations, can decrement a counter twice ("double decrement") as a result of multiple calls to the mntput function when the dentry_open function call fails, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via unspecified attack vectors.
