CVE-2009-0342

Status: ModifiedHigh (7.2)—

Niels Provos Systrace before 1.6f on the x86_64 Linux platform allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions by making a 64-bit syscall with a syscall number that corresponds to a policy-compliant 32-bit syscall.

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).
