Linux kernel 2.2.1 through 2.2.19, and 2.4.1 through 2.4.10, allows local users to cause a denial of service via a series of deeply nested symlinks, which causes the kernel to spend extra time when trying to access the link.

Exploit prediction (EPSS)

0.79% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 56% of all scored CVEs.
