CVSS v3.1
Official Description
Linux VServer 1.27 and earlier, 1.3.9 and earlier, and 1.9.1 and earlier shares /proc permissions across all virtual and host servers, which allows local users with the ability to set permissions in /proc to obtain system information or cause a denial of service on other virtual servers or the host server.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2004-2408 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
