CVE-2016-4973
Estado: ModificadaAlta (7.8)—
Los binarios compilados contra victimas que utilizan la biblioteca libssp en GCC para la protección contra descomposición de pila (SSP), pueden permitir a los usuarios locales realizar ataques de desbordamiento de búfer mediante el aprovechamiento de la falta de la funcionalidad de Comprobación de Tamaño de Objeto.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.0
- Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 7.8
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.43%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 35
- Fecha de la puntuación: 8/10/2026
