Linux vulnerabilitiesRanked by how likely they are to be used.
Linux is made by Conectiva. We track 66 published vulnerabilities in it, across 16 versions. None of them is on the list of flaws known to be exploited today. If you run Linux, keep it on a version the vendor still supports.
We keep watching the known-exploited list.

Which Linux flaws are most likely to be used?
Ranked by the latest exploit-likelihood forecast: the chance each flaw is used in an attack in the next 30 days. A high severity score on its own doesn't tell you that. Flaws shared by many other makers' products are left out.
- 78%CVE-2003-0780Critical
Buffer overflow in get_salt_from_password from sql_acl.cc for MySQL 4.0.14 and earlier, and 3.23.x, allows attackers with ALTER TABLE privileges to execute arbitrary code via a long Password field.
- 45%CVE-2001-0136Medium
Memory leak in ProFTPd 1.2.0rc2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a series of USER commands, and possibly SIZE commands if the server has been improperly installed.
- 26%CVE-2000-0666Critical
rpc.statd in the nfs-utils package in various Linux distributions does not properly cleanse untrusted format strings, which allows remote attackers to gain root privileges.
- 25%CVE-2004-0557Critical
Multiple buffer overflows in the st_wavstartread function in wav.c for Sound eXchange (SoX) 12.17.2 through 12.17.4 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via certain WAV file header fields.
- 21%CVE-2003-0540Medium
The address parser code in Postfix 1.1.12 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (lock) via (1) a malformed envelope address to a local host that would generate a bounce and contains the...
- 17%CVE-2004-1029Critical
The Sun Java Plugin capability in Java 2 Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.4.2_01, 1.4.2_04, and possibly earlier versions, does not properly restrict access between Javascript and Java applets during data transfer, which...
- 16%CVE-2000-0844Critical
Some functions that implement the locale subsystem on Unix do not properly cleanse user-injected format strings, which allows local attackers to execute arbitrary commands via functions such as gettext and catopen.
- 15%CVE-2002-0083Critical
Off-by-one error in the channel code of OpenSSH 2.0 through 3.0.2 allows local users or remote malicious servers to gain privileges.
- 14%CVE-2004-0882Critical
Buffer overflow in the QFILEPATHINFO request handler in Samba 3.0.x through 3.0.7 may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a TRANSACT2_QFILEPATHINFO request with a small "maximum data bytes" value.
- 12%CVE-2001-0690High
Format string vulnerability in exim (3.22-10 in Red Hat, 3.12 in Debian and 3.16 in Conectiva) in batched SMTP mode allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via format strings in SMTP mail headers.
