CVE-2018-15572
Estado: ModificadaMedia (6.5)—
La función spectre_v2_select_mitigation en arch/x86/kernel/cpu/bugs.c en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a la 4.18.1 no siempre completa RSB en un cambio de contexto, lo que hace que sea más fácil para los atacantes realizar ataques spectreRSB espacio de usuario-espacio de usuario.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.0
- Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N
- Puntuación base: 6.5
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.51%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 42
- Fecha de la puntuación: 10/10/2026
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).
