CVE-2016-10012
Last modified
CVE-2016-10012 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. The shared memory manager (associated with pre-authentication compression) in sshd in OpenSSH before 7.4 does not ensure that a bounds check is enforced by all compilers, which might allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging access to a sandboxed privilege-separation process, related to the m_zback and m_zlib data structures.. EPSS estimates a 1.28% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
