CVE-2016-0758: Integer overflow in lib/asn1_decoder.c in the Linux kernel before 4.6 allows local users to gain privileges via crafted ASN.1 data.
HighCVSS 7.8 · v3.1—No exploit Fix available
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 31/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.39% (FIRST EPSS).
- Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: linux (Debian:12) 4.5.4-1; kernel (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:7::client) 0:3.10.0-327.18.2.el7; kernel-abi-whitelists (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:7::client) 0:3.10.0-327.18.2.el7.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to linux (Debian:12) 4.5.4-1; kernel (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:7::client) 0:3.10.0-327.18.2.el7; kernel-abi-whitelists (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:7::client) 0:3.10.0-327.18.2.el7 or later.
