CVE-2014-3631
La función assoc_array_gc en la implementación associative-array en lib/assoc_array.c en el kernel de Linux anterior a 3.16.3 no implementa debidamente la recolección de basura, lo que permite a usuarios locales causar una denegación de servicio (referencia a puntero nulo y caída del sistema) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado a través de múltiples operaciones 'keyctl newring' seguidas de una operación 'keyctl timeout'.
CVSS
- Puntuación base
- 7.2
- Versión
- 2.0
- Vector
- AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días
- 0.96 %
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas
- 61
- Fecha de la puntuación
- 20/10/2026
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.
