CVE-2018-12440
Estado: ModificadaMedia (4.7)—
BoringSSL through 2018-06-14 allows a memory-cache side-channel attack on DSA signatures, aka the Return Of the Hidden Number Problem or ROHNP. To discover a DSA key, the attacker needs access to either the local machine or a different virtual machine on the same physical host.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.0
- Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
- Puntuación base: 4.7
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.14%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 3
- Fecha de la puntuación: 5/10/2026
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).
