CVE-2007-4684

Status: ModifiedMedium (6.9)—💥 Exploit

Integer overflow in the kernel in Apple Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.10 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a large num_sels argument to the i386_set_ldt system call.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

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.
