Summary
Stack-based buffer overflow in the msx_readnode function in libmosix.c in openmosix-tools (aka userspace-tools) in openMosix might allow local users to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a third-party program that calls this function with a long item argument. NOTE: the vendor does not provide any program that is capable of causing this overflow.
Exploit prediction
0.31% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 23% of all scored CVEs (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-08).
