Linux kernel vulnerabilitiesRanked by how likely they are to be used.
Linux kernel is made by Kernel. We track 2 published vulnerabilities in it, across 5 versions. None of them is on the list of flaws known to be exploited today. If you run Linux kernel, keep it on a version the vendor still supports.
We keep watching the known-exploited list.

Which Linux kernel 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.

The sg_build_indirect function in drivers/scsi/sg.c in Linux kernel 2.6.28-rc1 through 2.6.31-rc8 uses an incorrect variable when accessing an array, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel OOPS and NULL pointer dereference), as demonstrated by using xcdroast to duplicate a CD. NOTE: this is only exploitable by users who can open the cdrom device.
