CVE-2010-4656
Estado: ModificadaAlta (7.8)—
La función iowarrior_write en drivers/usb/misc/iowarrior.c en el kernel Linux anterior a v2.6.37 no asigna memoria adecuadamente, lo que permite a usuarios locales desencadenar un desbordamiento de búfer basado en memoria dinámica, y en consecuencia provocar una denegación de servicio o obtener privilegios a través de un informe largo.
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: 0.40%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 32
- 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).
