NOTE: there are limited scenarios in which this crosses privilege boundaries.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":["CWE-264"],"references":["http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2008-10/msg00007.html","http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2008-10/msg00008.html","http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2008-10/msg00010.html","http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2008-11/msg00001.html","http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2008-12/msg00000.html"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T19:52:44.811608366+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2008-3528","score":0.00525,"percentile":0.44551,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
