CVE-2015-7885

11
FAUCET Score

CVE-2015-7885 is a low-severity information disclosure vulnerability affecting the Linux kernel, specifically within the dgnc_mgmt_ioctl function in the dgnc staging driver. This flaw allows local users with high privileges to potentially extract sensitive information from kernel memory due to an uninitialized structure member. Given its low CVSS score of 2.3, the attack requires local access and high privileges, resulting in a limited impact of only confidentiality loss. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage, indicating a very low likelihood of exploitation in the wild.
