CVE-2013-2094
La función perf_swevent_init en kernel/events/core.c en el Kernel de Linux anterior a v3.8.9 usa un tipo de datos entero incorrecto, lo que permite a usuarios locales ganar privilegios mediante una llamada al sistema perf_event_open especialmente diseñada.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 8.4
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 48%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 99
- Fecha de la puntuación: 9/10/2026
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).
CISA KEV — explotada activamente
- Añadida al catálogo: 15/9/2022
- Plazo de remediación: 6/10/2022
- Uso conocido en ransomware: Unknown
💥 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.
