CVE-2005-3107

11
FAUCET Score

CVE-2005-3107 describes a denial-of-service vulnerability in the Linux kernel (specifically fs/exec.c in Linux 2.6). A local attacker could exploit this by tracing a thread sharing the same memory map, forcing a core dump while the traced thread is in TASK_TRACED state, leading to a system deadlock. This vulnerability has a low CVSS score of 2.1 (AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P), indicating local access, low attack complexity, and a partial availability impact. There is no evidence of active exploitation, no known public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), and minimal community discussion or media coverage.
