CVE Descriptions
The VT implementation (vt_ioctl.c) in Linux kernel 2.6.12, and possibly other versions including 2.6.14.4, allows local users to use the KDSKBSENT ioctl on terminals of other users and gain privileges, as demonstrated by modifying key bindings using loadkeys.

EPSS
EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.
EPSS Score
The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.
EPSS Percentile
The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

The Linux kernel is susceptible to a local command-injection vulnerability via console keymap modifications. This issue occurs because unprivileged users can alter the system-wide console keymap.
Local users may modify the console keymap to include scripted macro commands. This allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the user that uses the console after them, potentially facilitating privilege escalation.
