CVE-2006-5758

Status: ModifiedHigh (7.2)—💥 Exploit

The Graphics Rendering Engine in Microsoft Windows 2000 through 2000 SP4 and Windows XP through SP2 maps GDI Kernel structures on a global shared memory section that is mapped with read-only permissions, but can be remapped by other processes as read-write, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and crash) and gain privileges by modifying the kernel structures.

CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
Base score: 7.2

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 6.51%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 94
Score date: 10/7/2026

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

💥 Public exploits

Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
