CVE-2010-0730
Status: ModifiedLow (2.6)—
The MMIO instruction decoder in the Xen hypervisor in the Linux kernel 2.6.18 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (32-bit guest OS crash) via vectors that trigger an unspecified instruction emulation.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
- Base score: 2.6
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 2.44%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 84
- Score date: 10/10/2026
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).
