CVE-2010-1083

UnknownEPSS 0.36%

Last modified

CVE-2010-1083 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The processcompl_compat function in drivers/usb/core/devio.c in Linux kernel 2.6.x through 2.6.32, and possibly other versions, does not clear the transfer buffer before returning to userspace when a USB command fails, which might make it easier for physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive information (kernel memory).. EPSS estimates a 0.36% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
