20
FAUCET Score

CVE-2013-7339 describes a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in the rds_ib_laddr_check function of the Linux kernel, affecting versions prior to 3.12.8. This flaw allows a local attacker to trigger a system crash, leading to a denial of service, by using a bind system call on an RDS socket when RDS transports are absent. Rated with a CVSS score of 4.7 (AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C), it indicates a low-complexity local attack with high impact on availability. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage, suggesting it is not a widely targeted vulnerability.
