CVE-2014-3631

no score yetEPSS 1.0%

linux linux kernel: no CVSS score yet. EPSS 1.0% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The assoc_array_gc function in the associative-array implementation in lib/assoc_array.c in the Linux kernel before 3.16.3 does not properly implement garbage collection, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via multiple "keyctl newring" operations followed by a "keyctl timeout" operation.

EPSS: 1.0% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days; higher than 61% of CVEs (scores of 2026-10-31)
