CWE-94Published: April 22, 2019· Updated: Jun 16, 2026
5.7
CVSS v3.1
Official Description
Ekiga versions before 3.3.0 attempted to load a module from /tmp/ekiga_test.so.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2011-1830 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
