DescriptionCVE.org

Nozomi Networks Labs identified a CWE-362: Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition') vulnerability in the event notification functionality of KUNBUS piControl in version 2.6.2 that allows a local authenticated attacker to corrupt kernel heap and event-list state and disclose a small amount of adjacent kernel memory, resulting in kernel memory corruption and denial of service, by issuing concurrent crafted requests from multiple threads through the piControl character device.

AnalysisAI

Race condition in KUNBUS piControl 2.6.2 enables a local authenticated attacker to corrupt kernel heap memory and disclose adjacent kernel memory contents by issuing concurrent crafted requests through the piControl character device. The flaw resides in the event notification subsystem, where improper synchronization between threads allows an attacker to win a timing window and manipulate shared kernel state. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires: (1) local authenticated access to the target system (PR:L per CVSS 4.0 vector); (2) the ability to create multiple concurrent threads or processes that interact with the piControl character device (/dev/piControl) - the character device must be accessible to the attacker's user account; (3) successful timing of the race condition across concurrent threads (AC:H, AT:P), which is non-trivial and may require multiple attempts. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.9 with AV:L/AC:H/AT:P/PR:L appropriately calibrates this as a medium-severity, hard-to-exploit local vulnerability. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation The primary remediation is to apply the vendor-supplied patch for KUNBUS piControl; however, no exact fixed version number is confirmed in the available input data - consult the Nozomi Networks advisory at https://www.nozominetworks.com/labs/vulnerability-advisories-cve-2026-13198 and the KUNBUS vendor directly for the patched release. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
