CVE-2020-28974
Estado: ModificadaMedia (5)—
Una lectura fuera de límites en fbcon en el kernel de Linux versiones anteriores a 5.9.7, podría ser usada por parte de atacantes locales para leer información privilegiada o potencialmente bloquear el kernel, también se conoce como CID-3c4e0dff2095. Esto ocurre porque la función KD_FONT_OP_COPY en el archivo drivers/tty/vt/vt.c puede ser usada para manipulaciones tales como la altura de la fuente
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H
- Puntuación base: 5
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.52%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 43
- Fecha de la puntuación: 14/10/2026
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).
