It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2010-4258 exists.\n\nAffected product: Fedoraproject Fedora. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2010-4258/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2010-4258/index.md)","id":"CVE-2010-4258","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2010-4258/index.md","name":"CVE-2010-4258","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vj6j-hh8w-8qxh"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can exploit improper KERNEL_DS handling in the Linux kernel to overwrite memory and gain elevated privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"fedora","vendor":"fedoraproject"},{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"},{"product":"opensuse","vendor":"opensuse"},{"product":"linux_enterprise_desktop","vendor":"suse"},{"product":"linux_enterprise_real_time_extension","vendor":"suse"},{"product":"linux_enterprise_server","vendor":"suse"},{"product":"linux_enterprise_software_development_kit","vendor":"suse"}],"cvss":{"score":6.2,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:H/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"The do_exit function in kernel/exit.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36.2 does not properly handle a KERNEL_DS get_fs value, which allows local users to bypass intended access_ok restrictions, overwrite arbitrary kernel memory locations, and gain privileges by leveraging a (1) BUG, (2) NULL pointer dereference, or (3) page fault, as demonstrated by vectors involving the clear_child_tid feature and the splice system call.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2010-12-07","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2010-12-07","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"15704","stars":null,"title":"Linux Kernel 2.6.37 (RedHat / Ubuntu 10.04) - 'Full-Nelson.c' Local Privilege Escalation"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-4258","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"fedoraproject:fedora","products":["fedoraproject:fedora","linux:linux_kernel","opensuse:opensuse","suse:linux_enterprise_desktop","suse:linux_enterprise_real_time_extension","suse:linux_enterprise_server","suse:linux_enterprise_software_development_kit"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2010"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":38,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-4259"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-4257"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2010-12-30","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"PHP-CGI OS Command Injection","id":"CVE-2024-4577","kev_date_added":"2024-06-12","published":"2024-06-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Grafana Authentication Bypass","id":"CVE-2021-39226","kev_date_added":"2022-08-25","published":"2021-10-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"VMware ESXi and Horizon DaaS OpenSLP Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2019-5544","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2019-12-06"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Google Chromium V8 Type Confusion","id":"CVE-2024-4947","kev_date_added":"2024-05-20","published":"2024-05-15"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Google Chromium Visuals Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2024-4671","kev_date_added":"2024-05-13","published":"2024-05-09"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Google Chromium Mojo Insufficient Data Validation","id":"CVE-2022-3075","kev_date_added":"2022-09-08","published":"2022-09-26"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Google Chromium Indexed DB API Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2021-30633","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-10-08"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can exploit improper KERNEL_DS handling in the Linux kernel to overwrite memory and gain elevated privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2010-4258/"}
