Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2010-11-29 16:00 - Updated: 2026-06-16 23:24
Severity
Summary
The wait_for_unix_gc function in net/unix/garbage.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.37-rc3-next-20101125 does not properly select times for garbage collection of inflight sockets, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system hang) via crafted use of the socketpair and sendmsg system calls for SOCK_SEQPACKET sockets.
