Linux vulnerabilitiesRanked by how likely they are to be used.
Linux is made by Gentoo. We track 159 published vulnerabilities listed under that exact name, across 8 versions. None of them is on the list of flaws known to be exploited today. Gentoo lists newer releases under their own names, such as Linux Eix, so check those pages too.
We keep watching the known-exploited list.
Is Linux listed under other names? Yes.
Gentoo also lists Linux under more specific names, such as Linux Eix and Linux Webapp-Config. Flaws listed only under those names are counted on their own pages, not here. If you run one of these, open its page for its own exploited flaws.

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.
