CVE-2020-10751

17
FAUCET Score

CVE-2020-10751 is a medium-severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's SELinux LSM hook, affecting various kernel and Red Hat Enterprise Linux products. The flaw allows an attacker to bypass SELinux security by embedding multiple netlink messages within a single skb, where only the first message is properly validated. This local attack vector (AV:L) has low attack complexity (AC:L) and requires low privileges (PR:L), potentially leading to high confidentiality impact (C:H) and low integrity impact (I:L). There is currently no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
