CVE-2011-0712
Status: ModifiedHigh (7.2)—
Multiple buffer overflows in the caiaq Native Instruments USB audio functionality in the Linux kernel before 2.6.38-rc4-next-20110215 might allow attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a long USB device name, related to (1) the snd_usb_caiaq_audio_init function in sound/usb/caiaq/audio.c and (2) the snd_usb_caiaq_midi_init function in sound/usb/caiaq/midi.c.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
- Base score: 7.2
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.43%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 36
- Score date: 10/14/2026
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).
