18
FAUCET Score

CVE-2005-1264 describes a critical vulnerability in the Linux kernel 2.6.x, specifically within the raw character devices (raw.c), where an incorrect function call before passing an ioctl to a block device allows user-space access to kernel address space. This flaw, similar to CVE-2005-1589, carries a high CVSS score of 7.2 (AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C), indicating a local attack vector with low complexity that can lead to complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Despite its severity, there is no evidence of active exploitation, no known public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), and minimal community discussion or media coverage.
