CVE-2016-9793
La función sock_setsockopt en net/core/sock.c en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a 4.8.14 no maneja adecuadamente valores negativos de sk_sndbuf y sk_rcvbuf, lo que permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria y caída del sistema) o posiblemente tener otros impactos no especificados aprovechando la capacidad CAP_NET_ADMIN para una llamada al sistema setsockopt manipulada con la opción (1) SO_SNDBUFFORCE o (2) SO_RCVBUFFORCE.
CVSS
- Puntuación base
- 7.8
- Versión
- 3.1
- Vector
- CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días
- 1.57 %
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas
- 75
- 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.
