CVE-2015-4036

19
FAUCET Score

CVE-2015-4036 describes an array index error in the Linux kernel's vhost SCSI driver (specifically the tcm_vhost_make_tpg function, later renamed to vhost_scsi_make_tpg) affecting versions before 4.0. This flaw allows guest OS users to trigger a denial of service through memory corruption, or potentially achieve other unspecified impacts, by sending a specially crafted VHOST_SCSI_SET_ENDPOINT ioctl call. With a CVSS score of 7.2, it is considered highly severe due to its local attack vector, low attack complexity, and complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage surrounding this vulnerability.
