CVE-2009-3288

no score yetEPSS 0.4%

No CVSS score yet. EPSS 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The sg_build_indirect function in drivers/scsi/sg.c in Linux kernel 2.6.28-rc1 through 2.6.31-rc8 uses an incorrect variable when accessing an array, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel OOPS and NULL pointer dereference), as demonstrated by using xcdroast to duplicate a CD. NOTE: this is only exploitable by users who can open the cdrom device.

EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days; higher than 38% of CVEs (scores of 2026-10-31)
