CVE-2005-3119

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions 2.6.10 through 2.6.13

Description The issue is related to a memory leak in the request key auth destroy function within the request key auth component of the Linux kernel. This leak allows local users to cause a denial of service by consuming memory through the creation of a large number of authorization token keys.

Recommendations For Linux kernel versions 2.6.10 through 2.6.13, consider updating to a version outside of this range to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, restrict the creation of authorization token keys to minimize the risk of exploitation.
