CVE-2015-2830
Status: ModifiedLow (1.9)—
arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S in the Linux kernel before 3.19.2 does not prevent the TS_COMPAT flag from reaching a user-mode task, which might allow local users to bypass the seccomp or audit protection mechanism via a crafted application that uses the (1) fork or (2) close system call, as demonstrated by an attack against seccomp before 3.16.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
- Base score: 1.9
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.41%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 33
- Score date: 10/12/2026
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).
