CVE-2011-0162
Status: ModifiedHigh (7.8)—
Wi-Fi in Apple iOS before 4.3 and Apple TV before 4.2 does not properly perform bounds checking for Wi-Fi frames, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device reset) via unspecified traffic on the local wireless network.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C
- Base score: 7.8
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 2.89%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 86
- 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).
