CVE-2012-1568

CVE-2012-1568 describes a weakness in the ExecShield feature within a Red Hat Linux kernel patch affecting Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6, and Fedora 15 and 16. This vulnerability allows context-dependent attackers to bypass Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) by exploiting predictable base addresses of shared libraries when a 32-bit executable uses many of them. With a CVSS score of 1.9, this is a low-severity vulnerability requiring local access and medium attack complexity, primarily impacting integrity by facilitating ASLR bypass. There is no known active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage surrounding this CVE.
