NOTE: the original developer has disputed the severity of this issue, saying \"The only denial of service that is possible here is to fill up the disk with core dumps if the OS actually generates different core dumps (which is unlikely)... the bug is in the shutdown code (finis()) which leads directly to exit(3), i.e., the process would terminate anyway, no mail delivery or receiption is affected.\"","title":"Description of the CVE"},{"category":"legal_disclaimer","text":"CSAF 2.0 data is provided by SUSE under the Creative Commons License 4.0 with Attribution (CC-BY-4.0).","title":"Terms of use"}],"publisher":{"category":"vendor","contact_details":"https://www.suse.com/support/security/contact/","name":"SUSE Product Security Team","namespace":"https://www.suse.com/"},"references":[{"category":"external","summary":"CVE-2006-4434","url":"https://www.suse.com/security/cve/CVE-2006-4434"},{"category":"external","summary":"SUSE Security Ratings","url":"https://www.suse.com/support/security/rating/"},{"category":"external","summary":"SUSE Bug 202370 for CVE-2006-4434","url":"https://bugzilla.suse.com/202370"},{"category":"external","summary":"Advisory link for SUSE-SR:2006:021","url":"https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/security-announce@lists.opensuse.org/thread/6AIF5EYS55NE7YJMCHTGWNZQQYAOWXNN/#6AIF5EYS55NE7YJMCHTGWNZQQYAOWXNN"}],"title":"SUSE CVE CVE-2006-4434","tracking":{"current_release_date":"2024-09-12T06:12:42Z","generator":{"date":"2023-02-15T06:14:25Z","engine":{"name":"cve-database.git:bin/generate-csaf-vex.pl","version":"1"}},"id":"CVE-2006-4434","initial_release_date":"2023-02-15T06:14:25Z","revision_history":[{"date":"2023-02-15T06:14:25Z","number":"2","summary":"Current version"},{"date":"2023-12-08T05:20:08Z","number":"3","summary":"Current version"},{"date":"2023-12-09T03:42:00Z","number":"4","summary":"Current version"},{"date":"2024-09-12T06:12:42Z","number":"5","summary":"Current version"}],"status":"interim","version":"5"}}}
