CVE-2018-18653
Estado: ModificadaAlta (7.8)—
El kernel de Linux, tal y como se emplea en Ubuntu 18.10 y cuando se arranca con UEFI Secure Boot habilitado, permite que usuarios locales privilegiados omitan las restricciones planeadas de Secure Boot y ejecuten código no fiable cargando módulos arbitrarios del kernel. Esto ocurre debido a un kernel/module.c modificado que, junto con ciertas opciones de configuración, conduce a la gestión incorrecta del resultado de la verificación de firmas.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.0
- Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 7.8
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.31%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 22
- 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).
