CVE-2005-3358 is a local denial-of-service vulnerability affecting the Linux kernel prior to version 2.6.15. A local attacker can trigger a kernel panic by making a set_mempolicy call with a 0 bitmask, which then causes a system crash upon a subsequent page fault. This vulnerability has a CVSS score of 4.9, indicating a low attack complexity and requiring local access to achieve a complete denial of service. While not on CISA's KEV catalog or Hot List, an exploit (EDB-27031) is publicly available, though there is no evidence of active exploitation or significant community discussion.
