CVE-2007-4570

Status: ModifiedLow (1.9)—

Algorithmic complexity vulnerability in the MCS translation daemon in mcstrans 0.2.3 allows local users to cause a denial of service (temporary daemon outage) via a large range of compartments in sensitivity labels.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
