CVE-2011-0182

Status: ModifiedHigh (7.2)—💥 Exploit

The i386_set_ldt system call in the kernel in Apple Mac OS X before 10.6.7 does not properly handle call gates, which allows local users to gain privileges via vectors involving the creation of a call gate entry.

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).

💥 Public exploits

Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
