9.3
CVSS v3.1
Official Description
The Live DVD for Edubuntu 9.10, 10.04 LTS, and 10.10 does not correctly regenerate iTALC private keys after installation, which causes each installation to have the same fixed key, which allows remote attackers to gain privileges.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2011-0724 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
