CVE-2018-16882
Se ha detectado un uso de memoria previamente liberada en la manera en la que el hypervisor KVM del kernel de Linux procesa las interrupciones publicadas cuando la virtualización "nested(=1)" se encuentra habilitada. En caso de que se produzca un error durante el procesamiento de las direcciones de las interrupciones publicadas, nested_get_vmcs12_pages() desmapea "pi_desc_page" sin restablecer la dirección del descriptor "pi_desc", la cual se utiliza posteriormente en pi_test_and_clear_on(). Un usuario invitado/proceso podría aprovechar este fallo para forzar un cierre inesperado en el kernel del host, lo que resultaría en DoS o en el acceso privilegiado a un sistema. Las versiones del kernel anteriores a la 4.14.91 y la 4.19.13 son vulnerables.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 8.8
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.36%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 28
- 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).
