CVE-2010-4502
CWE-189Published: December 8, 2010· Updated: Jun 16, 2026
7.2
CVSS v3.1
Official Description
Integer overflow in KmxSbx.sys 6.2.0.22 in CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2010 allows local users to cause a denial of service (pool corruption) and execute arbitrary code via crafted arguments to the 0x88000080 IOCTL, which triggers a buffer overflow.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2010-4502 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2010-4502. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
