CVE-2007-4268
Estado: ModificadaAlta (7.8)—
Un error en la propiedad signedness de enteros en el componente Networking en Apple Mac OS X versiones 10.4 hasta 10.4.10, permite a usuarios locales ejecutar código arbitrario por medio de un mensaje de AppleTalk diseñado con un valor negativo, que satisface una comparación firmada durante la asignación de mbuf pero que luego es interpretada como un valor sin firmar, lo que desencadena un desbordamiento de búfer en la región heap de la memoria.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 7.8
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.67%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 51
- Fecha de la puntuación: 12/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
