CVE-2005-3808: Integer Overflow
First published: Fri Nov 25 2005(Updated: )
Integer overflow in the invalidate_inode_pages2_range function in mm/truncate.c in Linux kernel 2.6.11 to 2.6.14 allows local users to cause a denial of service (hang) via 64-bit mmap calls that are not properly handled on a 32-bit system.
