CVE-2021-3178
Estado: ModificadaMedia (6.5)—
** EN DISPUTA ** en el archivo fs/nfsd/nfs3xdr.c en el kernel de Linux versiones hasta 5.10.8, cuando se presenta una exportación NFS de un subdirectorio de un sistema de archivos, permite a atacantes remotos saltar otras partes del sistema de archivos por medio de READDIRPLUS. NOTA: algunas terceros argumentan que tal exportación de subdirectorios no intenta impedir este ataque; véase también el comportamiento predeterminado de no_subtree_check de exports(5)
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N
- Puntuación base: 6.5
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 2.45%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 84
- 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).
