CVE-2010-4078
Status: ModifiedLow (1.9)—
The sisfb_ioctl function in drivers/video/sis/sis_main.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36-rc6 does not properly initialize a certain structure member, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via an FBIOGET_VBLANK ioctl call.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
- Base score: 1.9
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.38%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 30
- 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).
