UnknownEPSS 0.50%

Last modified

CVE-2012-0028 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The robust futex implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28 does not properly handle processes that make exec system calls, which allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly gain privileges by writing to a memory location in a child process.. EPSS estimates a 0.50% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
