CVE-2005-0124 describes a denial-of-service or arbitrary code execution vulnerability in the coda_pioctl function of the Linux kernel (versions 2.6.9 and 2.4.x before 2.4.29). This flaw, stemming from negative size values, could lead to a buffer overflow. With a low CVSS score of 2.1 (AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P), it primarily poses a local denial-of-service risk, though arbitrary code execution is possible.
