CVE-2010-1083

no score yetEPSS 0.4%

linux linux kernel: no CVSS score yet. EPSS 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The processcompl_compat function in drivers/usb/core/devio.c in Linux kernel 2.6.x through 2.6.32, and possibly other versions, does not clear the transfer buffer before returning to userspace when a USB command fails, which might make it easier for physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive information (kernel memory).

EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days; higher than 29% of CVEs (scores of 2026-10-31)
