CVE-2010-3858
La función setup_arg_pages en fs/exec.c en el kernel de Linux anterior a v2.6.36, cuando se utiliza CONFIG_STACK_GROWSDOWN, no restringe adecuadamente el consumo de memoria de pila de (1) los argumentos y (2) las variables de entorno para una aplicación de 32 bits en un plataforma de 64 bits, lo que permite a usuarios locales causar una denegación de servicio (mediante caída del sistema) a través de una system call debidamente modificada. Se trata de un problema relacionado con la CVE-2010-2240.
CVSS
- Versión: 2.0
- Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C
- Puntuación base: 4.9
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.91%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 59
- Fecha de la puntuación: 14/10/2026
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).
💥 Exploits públicos
Hay código de explotación o plantillas de detección públicos. No es lo mismo que explotación activa confirmada (KEV), pero aumenta el riesgo: parchee con prioridad.
