CVE-2010-4073

Estado: ModificadaBaja (1.9)—💥 Exploit
The ipc subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.37-rc1 does not initialize certain structures, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via vectors related to the (1) compat_sys_semctl, (2) compat_sys_msgctl, and (3) compat_sys_shmctl functions in ipc/compat.c; and the (4) compat_sys_mq_open and (5) compat_sys_mq_getsetattr functions in ipc/compat_mq.c.
CVSS

Versión: 2.0
Vector: AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
Puntuación base: 1.9
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)

Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 1.48%
Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 73
Fecha de la puntuación: 7/10/2026
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).
💥 Exploits públicos

Hay código de explotación o plantillas de detección públicos. No es lo mismo que explotación activa confirmada (KEV), pero aumenta el riesgo: parchee con prioridad.
