CVE-2012-0055
Estado: ModificadaAlta (7.8)—💥 Exploit
OverlayFS en el kernel de Linux versiones anteriores a 3.0.0-16.28, como es usado en Ubuntu versiones 10.0.4 LTS y 11.10, carece de verificaciones de seguridad de inode que podrían permitir a atacantes omitir las restricciones de seguridad y llevar a cabo acciones no autorizadas.
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: 1.24%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 68
- Fecha de la puntuación: 7/10/2026
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.
