kernel/signal.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39 allows local users to spoof the uid and pid of a signal sender via a sigqueueinfo system call.
CVE-2011-1182
This CVE was only ever scored under CVSS v2.0. NVD CVSS v2.0 base 3.6 — v2 rates that LOW (v2 bands: LOW 0.0–3.9 / MEDIUM 4.0–6.9 / HIGH 7.0–10.0; v2 has no CRITICAL band). Vector AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:P. CVSS v2 is an older, coarser metric than v3.1/v4.0 (no Scope, no User Interaction, no Attack Requirements), so it is not directly comparable to a v3 or v4 score. NVD has never re-scored this record under v3. EPSS predicts 0.5% exploitation probability in the next 30 days, which is reflected in EG Risk but does not lift the v2 base. Confidence: LOW.
