CVE-2012-0028

CVE-2012-0028 describes a denial-of-service or potential privilege escalation vulnerability in the robust futex implementation of the Linux kernel prior to version 2.6.28. This flaw arises when processes making exec system calls are improperly handled, allowing local users to write to a child process's memory. With a CVSS score of 7.2 (AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C), it is considered a high-severity local vulnerability with low attack complexity, potentially leading to complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise. There is no evidence of active exploitation, no known public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), and minimal community discussion or media coverage surrounding this CVE.
