Use-after-free in the Linux kernel's DAMON sysfs interface (mm/damon/sysfs-schemes) lets a local actor with access to the 'memcg_path' file race a read against a concurrent write that frees the underlying buffer, accessing freed kernel memory. The flaw affects DAMON-enabled builds across the 6.6.96, 6.12.36, 6.15.5 and 6.16-rc lines, and is fixed by serializing both direct reads and writes under damon_sysfs_lock. EPSS is negligible (0.02%, 5th percentile) and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis; it is not in CISA KEV.
Local privilege escalation and kernel memory corruption in the Linux kernel's IPv6 GRE (ip6_gre) subsystem stem from ip6erspan_changelink() using dev_net(dev) instead of the cached t->net after IFLA_NET_NS_FD migration, causing a tunnel to be re-inserted into the wrong per-netns hash. When the original network namespace is later destroyed, the stale entry triggers a slab-use-after-free (flagged by KASAN) and a kernel BUG at LIST_POISON1, reachable from an unprivileged user namespace. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the bug is trivially reachable via unshare and EPSS exploitation probability is low (0.02%).
Information disclosure and denial of service in the Linux kernel's libceph subsystem allows remote Ceph servers (or attackers able to spoof/MITM unauthenticated Ceph traffic) to trigger a slab-out-of-bounds read by sending a crafted CEPH_MSG_AUTH_REPLY message with a positive result value. The flaw causes the kernel client to send memory contents past the allocated front-segment buffer back over the wire, potentially leaking adjacent kernel heap data and destabilizing the host. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is very low (0.02%), but the CVSS of 9.1 reflects the network-reachable, no-privileges-required nature of the bug in affected Ceph client deployments.
Local privilege escalation and kernel memory corruption in the Linux kernel's RDMA/mana driver allows authenticated local users to trigger a user-reachable WARN_ON() and subsequently corrupt kernel memory by specifying Work Queues that share the same Completion Queue through the uAPI of mana_ib_create_qp_rss(). The flaw affects Linux 6.8 through versions before the patched 6.12.91, 6.18.30, 7.0.7, and 7.1-rc3 releases. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS scoring is low at 0.02%.
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel's xfrm (IPsec) state management subsystem allows local attackers with low privileges to trigger memory corruption via concurrent xfrm_state lifecycle operations. The flaw resides in __xfrm_state_delete() where value-based predicates on x->km.seq and x->id.spi can race with xfrm_alloc_spi() outside of xfrm_state_lock, leading to slab-use-after-free writes through LIST_POISON pointers on the byseq/byspi/bydst/bysrc hash chains. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is very low at 0.02% (5th percentile), but a vendor patch is available.
Incorrect bvec coalescing in the Linux kernel's block layer (biovec_phys_mergeable) can merge physically contiguous bio_vec segments that belong to different zone-device dev_pagemaps, corrupting the ability to recover the correct pgmap via page_pgmap() for the merged segment. The flaw affects systems using zone device memory registered in multiple chunks (e.g., DAX/persistent memory or GPU/accelerator memory backends) and was fixed upstream; no public exploit is identified at time of analysis and EPSS exploitation probability is very low (0.02%, 5th percentile).
Remote information disclosure in the Linux kernel's RDMA Soft-RoCE (rxe) driver allows unauthenticated network attackers to leak adjacent kernel skb head-buffer memory by sending zero-length ATOMIC_WRITE RDMA packets. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-46114 and affecting kernels from 6.2 onward, lets a remote initiator extract 4 bytes of kernel tailroom per probe - including kernel strings and partial direct-map pointer words - into an attacker-controlled memory region. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is low (0.05%, 17th percentile), but the vendor (kernel.org) has released stable patches across multiple branches.
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel's KVM x86 shadow MMU allows a malicious guest VM to corrupt host memory and potentially escalate privileges on the hypervisor. The flaw occurs when a guest modifies its page tables between VM entries, causing KVM to install rmap entries outside the expected GFN range of a direct-mapped shadow page; subsequent rmap walks (e.g., during dirty logging or MMU notifier invalidations from MADV_DONTNEED) then dereference a freed kvm_mmu_page. EPSS is very low (0.02%) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the bug has existed since the earliest KVM versions and is now patched upstream.
Local privilege escalation risk in the Linux kernel's RDMA/hns driver stems from an unlocked call to hns_roce_qp_remove() in the error unwind path of hns_roce_qp_remove_common(). Low-privileged local users on systems with HiSilicon RoCE (hns) RDMA hardware could trigger the error flow to corrupt kernel memory, with EPSS at 0.02% indicating no known exploitation, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Local privilege escalation potential in the Linux kernel Bluetooth subsystem (hci_conn) stems from a use-after-free in create_big_sync() when a Broadcast Isochronous Group (BIG) creation races against connection teardown. A local low-privileged attacker on a system with active Bluetooth LE Audio operations could trigger the freed hci_conn dereference through hci_connect_cfm()/hci_conn_del(), enabling memory corruption with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is very low (0.02%, 5th percentile), reflecting limited weaponization despite the CVSS 7.8 rating.
Denial of service in the Linux kernel's stmmac Ethernet driver allows remote attackers to trigger a NULL pointer dereference and kernel panic on systems using STMicroelectronics MAC network controllers under sustained memory pressure. The flaw stems from incomplete handling of the DMA RX descriptor ring lifecycle, where stmmac_rx() cannot distinguish 'full' from 'dirty' descriptors when stmmac_rx_refill() fails to allocate replacement buffers. EPSS rates exploitation probability at only 0.02% (5th percentile), and no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Local privilege escalation or denial-of-service in the Linux kernel's dm-thin (device-mapper thin provisioning) target stems from a metadata reference-count underflow in rebalance_children(). Local users with access to thin-provisioned device-mapper volumes can trigger 'unable to decrement block' errors that corrupt metadata accounting on shared btree nodes, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis and a very low EPSS score (0.02%, 5th percentile) indicating limited exploitation interest despite the high CVSS of 7.8.
Local denial of service in the Linux kernel's mpt3sas SCSI driver allows a privileged local user to trigger a kernel oops by issuing oversized NVMe I/O operations against drives behind Broadcom/LSI MPT3 SAS HBAs. The flaw stems from a size mismatch between firmware-reported MDTS values and the driver's fixed 4K PRP list buffer, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. EPSS is very low (0.02%, 4th percentile), consistent with a kernel reliability bug requiring local privileged access rather than a remote attack surface.
Guest-to-host privilege escalation in Kata Containers runtime-rs (main/3.30 line, standalone virtio-fs path) lets an attacker with root inside a Kata guest VM execute arbitrary code as root on the host. Because runtime-rs launches the host virtiofsd daemon as root with '--sandbox none --seccomp none', a raw FUSE_SYMLINK request naming an absolute host path is honored outside the shared directory, breaking VM isolation. Publicly available exploit code exists (detailed PoC in the GHSA advisory that plants a host-root symlink in /etc/cron.d); there is no CISA KEV listing and EPSS is low at 0.07%.
Remote denial of service in the Linux kernel's stream parser (strparser) subsystem allows attackers to exhaust memory by repeatedly triggering message assembly timeouts that fail to release partially assembled skb buffers. The flaw resides in strp_abort_strp(), which leaks strp->skb_head on abort, and affects kernels from at least 4.9 through the 6.x and 7.x release lines until the fix introduced in 6.6.140, 6.12.86, 6.18.27, 7.0.4, and 7.1-rc1. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS (0.02%, 5th percentile) reflects low predicted exploitation in the next 30 days despite the CVSS 7.5 rating.
Local privilege-impacting memory corruption in the Linux kernel's AFS filesystem can be triggered by an authenticated local user mapping AFS files, leading to a refcount leak that can cause kernel resource exhaustion or use-after-free conditions affecting confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The flaw stems from an incorrect conversion of AFS's mmap handler to the new .mmap_prepare() interface (commit 9d5403b1036c), which leaks reference counts when a VMA merge or allocation failure occurs after the prepare call. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS rates exploitation likelihood at just 0.02%.
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel's IPv6 SR (seg6) and RPL lightweight tunnel input paths can be triggered on PREEMPT_RT builds when a higher-priority task races ksoftirqd during a concurrent FIB lookup on a shared nexthop. The flaw causes dst_cache_set_ip6() to call dst_hold() on a freed per-CPU route, producing a kernel warning or memory corruption that an attacker on the network could leverage for denial of service or potential code execution. EPSS is very low (0.02%) and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel's edt-ft5x06 capacitive touchscreen driver (CWE-416) lets a local actor with access to the driver's per-client debugfs interface read or corrupt freed kernel memory during device teardown. The regression was introduced by commit 68743c500c6e, which removed manual debugfs cleanup and left a window where debugfs files referencing tsdata->raw_buffer remained accessible after the buffer was freed. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS is very low (0.02%, 4th percentile) and it is not in CISA KEV, but a vendor (stable-tree) patch is available.
Out-of-bounds read in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem driver allows a local attacker to read up to 3 bytes beyond a valid extended-attribute (xattr) region, potentially leaking adjacent kernel memory or crashing the system. The flaw lives in check_xattrs(), where a loose bounds check on the next xattr entry lets IS_LAST_ENTRY() perform a 4-byte read that overruns the buffer when parsing a crafted or corrupted ext4 xattr block. It is not in CISA KEV and no public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS is negligible at 0.02% (5th percentile), consistent with a low-impact local memory-safety bug that has already been patched upstream.
Concurrent execution race in the Linux kernel's mm/vmalloc subsystem allows a local low-privileged attacker to trigger memory corruption or leaks by exercising the vmap_node shrinker simultaneously with lazy vmap purge operations. The flaw stems from unserialized invocation of decay_va_pool_node() between __purge_vmap_area_lazy() and the shrinker path. EPSS is very low (0.02%) and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the issue is patched upstream in the stable tree.
Local privilege escalation potential via use-after-free in the Linux kernel's ALSA aloop (snd-aloop) driver allows authenticated local users to trigger memory corruption by racing PCM stream close against a peer format-change stop. The flaw stems from snd_pcm_stop() running after cable->lock is dropped, leaving a stale peer substream pointer that can be freed by a concurrent close. Upstream fixes are merged into stable trees (6.12.88, 6.18.27, 7.0.4, 7.1-rc2); no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is very low at 0.02%.
Remote denial-of-service in the Linux kernel rxrpc subsystem (rxkad authentication) allows unauthenticated network attackers to crash vulnerable hosts by sending packets with misaligned crypto length fields. The flaw stems from improper handling of decryption errors and a remotely-triggerable WARN_ON_ONCE() in the rxkad packet processing path. EPSS scoring is very low (0.02%) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the CVSS 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) rating reflects the unauthenticated remote availability impact.
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel's RDMA mana_ib driver (Microsoft Azure Network Adapter) lets a local user trigger stale firmware RX steering after destroying an RSS QP, so incoming completions land on reused CQ IDs and corrupt kernel state. It affects Linux deployments on Azure VMs using MANA with RDMA/DPDK; an attacker who can create and destroy RSS QPs (e.g., via a DPDK application exit while a peer keeps transmitting) can drive completions onto TX CQs and crash or corrupt the driver. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is negligible (0.02%, 5th percentile), indicating low real-world exploitation likelihood.
Local privilege escalation via memory corruption in Linux Kernel crypto subsystem (acomp) affects systems using asynchronous hardware compression accelerators such as Intel QAT. The flaw stems from acomp_save_req() storing the wrong pointer (&req->chain instead of req itself) in req->base.data, causing the completion callback acomp_reqchain_done() to dereference fields at incorrect offsets. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is very low at 0.02%, but the high CVSS (7.8) reflects potential for memory corruption with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.
Out-of-bounds read in the Linux kernel's EROFS filesystem driver allows a local attacker to crash the system or potentially leak kernel memory by mounting a crafted EROFS image. The flaw stems from missing validation of the trailing dirent nameoff field, which can underflow during strnlen() and cause reads beyond the directory block. EPSS is very low (0.02%) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but a vendor patch is available across multiple stable kernel branches.
Privilege escalation and denial of service in the Linux kernel's nested SVM (nSVM) virtualization subsystem allows an L2 guest to issue VMMCALL hypercalls as if it were L1 when nested_svm_l2_tlb_flush_enabled() is true, L1 does not intercept VMMCALL, and the hypercall is not a supported Hyper-V call. The fix forces KVM to synthesize a #UD exception in this scenario, matching architectural behavior; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS exploitation probability is negligible (0.02%).
Local privilege escalation and memory corruption in the Linux kernel's atmel-sha204a crypto driver allows an attacker who can remove or unbind the device to trigger a use-after-free during the driver teardown path. The flaw stems from failing to unregister the hwrng and flush the Atmel I2C workqueue before teardown, letting a queued ->read() callback execute against freed state, and an early return that also leaks the hwrng.priv allocation. EPSS is very low (0.02%) and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, so this is a defense-in-depth hardening fix rather than an urgent emergency.
Out-of-bounds read in the Linux kernel md/raid5 journal recovery path allows a local privileged user supplying a corrupted MD RAID5 journal device to trigger memory disclosure or kernel crashes during journal replay. The flaw exists in r5c_recovery_analyze_meta_block() and r5l_recovery_verify_data_checksum_for_mb(), which trusted on-disk payload size fields without validating them against the metadata block's remaining space. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS scores exploitation probability at just 0.02% (5th percentile).
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel's mwifiex Wi-Fi driver (Marvell) occurs during adapter teardown: mwifiex_adapter_cleanup() calls the non-synchronous timer_delete() on the wakeup_timer, so a still-running wakeup_timer_fn callback can dereference adapter fields (hw_status, if_ops.card_reset) after mwifiex_free_adapter() frees them along the card-removal path. A local attacker who can trigger device removal while the timer fires could corrupt freed kernel memory, enabling privilege escalation or denial of service. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS is negligible (0.02%, 5th percentile), and the fix (timer_delete_sync()) is merged into stable releases.
Improper memory deallocation in the Linux kernel's NX-842 hardware compression crypto driver (nx842_crypto_alloc_ctx/free_ctx) causes bounce buffers allocated as order-2 (4 pages) to be released with single-page free_page() calls, leaking three of every four pages. The flaw is local-only with no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS (0.02%, 5th percentile) reflects negligible mass-exploitation interest. Note that the NVD CVSS (7.8, C:H/I:H/A:H) appears overstated for what the upstream commit explicitly describes as a memory leak rather than corruption.
Out-of-bounds memory access in the Linux kernel's DAMON (Data Access MONitor) subsystem allows a local user with access to the DAMON sysfs interface to read out-of-bounds kernel memory or crash the system. The flaw exists because mm/damon/core failed to validate the user-supplied node ID (damos_quota_goal->nid) before using it in NODE_DATA() for the node_memcg_used_bp and node_memcg_free_bp quota goal metrics. The kernel description includes a working reproduction using the user-space 'damo' tool, but no public weaponized exploit and no active exploitation (CISA KEV) have been reported; EPSS is negligible at 0.02%.
Local privilege escalation and memory corruption in the Linux kernel fbdev deferred I/O subsystem allows local low-privileged users to trigger undefined behavior when a framebuffer device is hot-unplugged while user space retains an active memory mapping. The flaw stems from improper lifetime management between struct fb_info and deferred I/O state, leading to use-after-free conditions with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact (CVSS 7.8). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS exploitation probability is very low (0.02%).
Out-of-bounds heap read in the Linux kernel's ibmasm driver (the IBM Advanced System Management service-processor interface) lets a local privileged user leak adjacent kernel heap memory. The ibmasm_send_i2o_message() function trusts user-controlled command_size and data_size header fields to size a memcpy_toio() without validating them against the real allocation, so a small buffer with inflated header values forces a read of up to ~65 KB past the allocation, which is then forwarded to the service processor over MMIO. EPSS is negligible (0.02%, 5th percentile) and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Integer overflow in the Linux kernel's ntfs3 filesystem driver allows local attackers to bypass volume boundary validation when mounting or accessing a crafted NTFS volume, leading to memory corruption with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. The flaw resides in run_unpack() where the check `lcn + len > sbi->used.bitmap.nbits` performs raw addition that wraps for large values, sidestepping the bounds check. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is very low (0.02%), but CVSS 7.8 with required user interaction reflects realistic local privilege-escalation potential when untrusted NTFS media is processed.
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel's amphion VPU media driver allows local privileged users to trigger a kernel panic and potential memory corruption due to a race condition between v4l2_m2m_ctx_release() and v4l2_m2m_try_run(). The flaw affects systems using the amphion video encode/decode driver (introduced in 5.18) and has been resolved upstream by removing reliance on the m2m framework's job scheduling. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is very low (0.02%), but the local high-impact CVSS of 7.8 makes it relevant for multi-tenant or hardened kernel deployments.
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel Bluetooth subsystem (hci_event) allows an adjacent attacker within Bluetooth range to potentially achieve memory corruption against vulnerable hosts during SSP pairing. The flaw stems from missing hdev locking in hci_user_passkey_notify_evt() and hci_keypress_notify_evt(), where an hci_conn structure can be freed concurrently while still in use. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS exploitation probability is very low (0.02%).
Out-of-bounds read in the Linux kernel's AppArmor LSM subsystem (security/apparmor/match.c) allows a local low-privileged user to trigger a KASAN slab-out-of-bounds read via the mount() syscall on kernels 7.0 through 7.0.3 and 7.1-rc1. The flaw stems from a missing string terminator that causes aa_dfa_match() to read past the end of an 8KB kmalloc buffer when processing mount path strings, resulting in potential information disclosure and system instability (denial of service). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS probability is negligible at 0.02%.
Local privilege-bounded information disclosure and integrity compromise in the Linux kernel's SELinux module affects overlayfs mounts where mmap() and mprotect() operations bypass the intended dual-credential access checks. A local authenticated user with access to an overlayfs top-level (user) file can map or change protections on backing files without the mounter's credentials being properly evaluated, undermining the SELinux overlayfs security model. EPSS is very low (0.02%, 5th percentile) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Local privilege escalation risk in the Linux kernel's RDS (Reliable Datagram Sockets) subsystem stems from a double-free condition in __rds_rdma_map() when a put_user() copy of the MR cookie fails after get_mr() has transferred sg/pages ownership to the transport. A local authenticated attacker triggering this race or fault path could cause memory corruption with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact (CVSS 7.8). No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is low at 0.02%, but a vendor-released patch is available across multiple stable branches.
Denial of service in the Linux kernel Ceph client allows local users with access to a Ceph-mounted filesystem to trigger d_hash list corruption and RCU stalls by inducing path lookups against reused cached negative dentries. The flaw stems from fs/ceph/dir.c calling d_add(dentry, NULL) on already-hashed negative dentries, creating self-loops in the hlist_bl bucket that cause __d_lookup() to spin indefinitely. EPSS is 0.02% (5th percentile) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the bug has been reproduced organically in production (RCU stall on a Dell PowerEdge R7615 running 6.18.17).
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel's QRTR (Qualcomm IPC Router) name service driver remove path allows local low-privileged users to corrupt memory and potentially escalate privileges. The flaw occurs because qrtr_ns_data_ready() can queue work to a workqueue that has already been destroyed during driver teardown, dereferencing freed memory. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS is very low (0.02%), and the fix has landed across multiple stable kernel trees.
Data corruption in the Linux kernel md-llbitmap RAID subsystem allows stale bitmap pages to be read from spare disks during rebuild. The md-llbitmap code iterated rdevs checking only raid_disk assignment and the Faulty flag, omitting the In_sync flag, so bitmap data could be sourced from a not-yet-synchronized spare. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS exploitation probability is negligible (0.02%), but the bug can silently corrupt arrays during normal operation or recovery.
Remote denial of service and potential memory corruption in the Linux kernel's RDMA Software RoCE (rxe) driver allows network attackers to send malformed RDMA packets that bypass length validation in rxe_rcv(). Affected systems with the rxe module loaded and reachable on the network can experience integer underflow in payload_size() due to an attacker-controlled BTH pad field, leading to negative values being passed to downstream receive-path handlers. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is very low (0.02%), but the CVSS 9.1 rating reflects the unauthenticated network attack surface where rxe is exposed.
Integer overflow in the Linux kernel's rxgk (RxRPC GSS Kerberos) token extraction routine allows remote attackers to potentially trigger memory corruption via length-check bypass in rxgk_extract_token(). The flaw affects Linux kernel versions in the 6.16.9-to-6.17 range and was fixed by changing the validation to round down available data instead of rounding up the tested value. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS exploitation probability is very low at 0.02%.
Out-of-bounds read in the Linux kernel's IPv4 ICMP handling allows remote attackers to trigger denial of service and potential information disclosure by sending crafted ICMP Extended Echo Reply packets. The flaw stems from the kernel consulting the icmp_pointers[] array with reply types (ICMP_EXT_ECHOREPLY) that fall outside its bounded range (NR_ICMP_TYPES). No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS probability is very low (0.02%), but the network attack vector and high availability impact make patching a priority for exposed Linux hosts.
Local privilege escalation in the Linux kernel's vfio/cdx (Composable DMA-capable eXtension) driver allows a process with access to a VFIO device file descriptor to trigger a use-after-free of the cdx_irqs array via concurrent VFIO_DEVICE_SET_IRQS ioctls. The race in vfio_cdx_set_msi_trigger() can be exploited by a local low-privileged attacker for memory corruption with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact (CVSS 7.8). There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is very low (0.02%, 5th percentile).
Out-of-bounds read in the Linux kernel's crypto authencesn AEAD wrapper allows a local user with AF_ALG access to trigger memory disclosure and possible denial of service by instantiating an authencesn transform built on an ahash whose digest size is 1-3 bytes (for example cbcmac(cipher_null)). The flaw stems from crypto_authenc_esn_create() failing to validate the inner digest size, letting an invalid default authsize bypass the existing setauthsize() check. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS probability is negligible (0.02%), but the upstream fix is shipping across multiple stable trees.
Denial of service in the Linux kernel ks8851 Ethernet driver allows a deadlock condition when handling concurrent IRQ and TX softirq processing on systems using the Micrel KS8851 MAC/PHY chip. The flaw manifests when the IRQ handler executes netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align() with bottom-halves enabled, triggering pending softirq processing that re-enters the driver's xmit path and attempts to re-acquire an already-held spinlock. EPSS scores this at 0.02% (5th percentile) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, consistent with a local hardware-dependent stability bug rather than a remotely weaponizable vulnerability.
Slab allocator corruption in the Linux kernel's mm/slab subsystem allows local low-privileged users on uniprocessor (UP, !CONFIG_SMP) builds to potentially corrupt kernel memory state when kmalloc_nolock() is invoked from NMI context. The flaw stems from spin_trylock() being a no-op on UP kernels, allowing re-entry into the slab allocator while n->list_lock is already held by the interrupted context. EPSS is very low (0.02%) and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, though an upstream patch is available.
Denial-of-service in the Linux kernel's SMC (Shared Memory Communications) networking subsystem allows remote attackers to crash the kernel by sending a CLC decline message during the early stage of an SMC handshake before the connection is associated with a link group. The flaw, tracked as EUVD-2026-32408, stems from smc_clc_wait_msg() accessing link-group sync state that does not yet exist at that point in the handshake. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS probability is very low (0.02%, 5th percentile), but the network attack vector and high availability impact warrant patching on systems that use SMC.
Denial of service in the Linux kernel's libceph subsystem allows remote attackers to crash the kernel via a malformed CEPH_MSG_AUTH_REPLY message containing zero values for both protocol and result fields. The flaw resides in ceph_handle_auth_reply() where a missing validation causes ac->ops to be set to NULL before being dereferenced. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is extremely low (0.02%), but the network attack vector with no authentication and high availability impact warrants prompt patching on Ceph-enabled systems.
Out-of-bounds MMIO read in the Linux kernel's ibmasm (IBM Advanced System Management) misc driver allows a compromised IBM service processor to read 8 bytes from unintended device registers or trigger a machine check exception (system crash) by writing an out-of-range queue reader/writer index before asserting an interrupt. The flaw resides in ibmasm_handle_mouse_interrupt() where raw readl() values are passed unchecked to get_queue_entry(), and is fixed by bounds-checking both indices against REMOTE_QUEUE_SIZE (60). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS probability is negligible at 0.02%.
Out-of-bounds memory access in the Linux kernel's DAMON (Data Access MONitor) subsystem allows privileged local users to crash the kernel by supplying arbitrary node IDs to damos_quota_goal via DAMON_SYSFS. Affecting Linux 6.16 and fixed in 6.18.27, 7.0.4, and 7.1-rc1, the flaw stems from missing validation before si_meminfo_node()/NODE_DATA() lookups and is reproducible with the upstream 'damo' user-space tool. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is very low at 0.02%.
Race condition and missed wake-up in the Linux kernel TCP listener migration path (SO_REUSEPORT) allows local low-privileged attackers to cause hangs and potentially exploit a use-after-free on listener sockets. Affects kernels from 5.14 up to versions fixed in 6.6.140, 6.12.86, 6.18.27, 7.0.4, and 7.1-rc1. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is very low (0.02%).
Local privilege escalation and memory corruption in the Linux kernel's MediaTek JPEG (mtk-jpeg) media driver allows a local user with access to the device to trigger a use-after-free condition. The flaw occurs in mtk_jpeg_release() which frees the context structure without first cancelling pending workqueue items, creating a race window during device close where the worker thread accesses freed memory. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS rates exploitation probability at just 0.02%, but the bug is fixed across multiple stable trees.
Memory exhaustion handling flaw in the Linux kernel's rxrpc/rxgk subsystem allows network-adjacent attackers to potentially trigger unsafe code paths when rxgk_decrypt_skb() returns -ENOMEM during RxGSS-Kerberos token extraction. Affected kernels include the 6.17 series and specific commits in 6.16.9 onward, fixed in upstream commits and stable backports targeting 6.18.27 and 7.1-rc1. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is very low (0.02%) despite the 8.1 CVSS score.
Local privilege escalation potential in the Linux kernel's Nouveau DRM driver stems from a 32-bit integer overflow in the pushbuf relocation bounds check (nouveau_gem_pushbuf_reloc_apply). Authenticated local users with access to the Nouveau GPU device node can bypass the size validation and trigger out-of-bounds writes against the buffer object, leading to high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is very low (0.02%), but a vendor patch is available across multiple stable kernel branches.
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel ALSA caiaq USB audio driver allows local code execution when the device probe path encounters an error during setup_card(). The setup_card() function previously ignored failures from snd_card_register() and continued executing, leaving freed card structures accessible to subsequent initialization calls such as snd_usb_caiaq_control_init(). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is low at 0.02% (5th percentile), consistent with the local attack vector and narrow hardware-driver scope.
Stack buffer overrun in the Linux kernel's pt5161l hwmon driver allows a malicious or malfunctioning I2C device to write up to 32 bytes into a 24-byte stack buffer during pt5161l_read_block_data(), corrupting kernel memory. The flaw affects Linux 6.9 through versions before the stable fixes, and a secondary bug causes the driver to process stale data as valid when retries are exhausted with a length mismatch. EPSS is very low (0.02%) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Local denial of service and potential information disclosure in the Linux kernel's EROFS filesystem affects versions from 5.13 through pre-patch releases, where a crafted EROFS image triggers an unsigned integer underflow in z_erofs_lz4_handle_overlap(). When a malicious image is mounted and a file is read, the LZ4 inplace decompression path wraps the 'outpages - inpages' calculation to a huge value and reads past the decompressed_pages array. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS probability is very low (0.02%), but a reproducible proof-of-concept image is embedded in the upstream commit message.
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel's rxrpc (AF_RXRPC) networking subsystem allows local attackers with low privileges to trigger memory corruption when skb_unshare() fails during packet input handling. Affected Linux kernel versions from 6.2 up to the fixed releases can be exploited to cause a NULL-pointer oops and potentially escalate privileges or crash the system. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS is very low (0.02%) and the issue is not present in CISA KEV.
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel's i.MX SPI driver (spi-imx) can be triggered when the driver is unbound, allowing a local privileged user to corrupt kernel memory and potentially escalate to full kernel code execution. EPSS is very low (0.02%) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but a kernel-level UAF with high CIA impact warrants prompt patching on affected i.MX-based systems.
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel's io_uring zero-copy receive (zcrx) subsystem allows local low-privileged attackers to corrupt memory and potentially escalate privileges. The flaw stems from io_free_rbuf_ring() accessing a struct user_struct after io_zcrx_ifq_free() has already released the reference, creating a UAF window. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS probability is very low (0.02%), but the bug class (UAF in io_uring) has historically been weaponized for LPE.
Out-of-bounds read in the Linux kernel's ibmasm driver allows a local low-privileged user with write access to the ibmasm command character device to leak kernel heap memory to the IBM Advanced System Management service processor and potentially destabilize the host. The flaw resides in command_file_write(), which trusts attacker-controlled command_size/data_size header fields after allocating a buffer of arbitrary count, enabling get_dot_command_size() to return a value larger than the allocation. EPSS is 0.02% and no public exploit is identified at time of analysis; the issue is not on CISA KEV.
Heap out-of-bounds write in the Linux kernel UDF filesystem driver allows a local attacker to corrupt kernel memory by mounting a crafted UDF image containing repeated partition descriptors. The flaw stems from incorrect bookkeeping in handle_partition_descriptor() where appended slots never record partnum, causing duplicate descriptors to overflow the part_descs_loc[] table. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS scores the exploitation probability at only 0.02%.
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel's Open Firmware (OF) device tree unittest driver (testdrv_probe) allows local low-privileged attackers to corrupt memory and potentially escalate privileges. The flaw stems from an erroneous of_node_put() call that releases a device_node reference owned by the device model, which can then be dereferenced later in of_platform_default_populate(). EPSS is very low (0.02%) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but a vendor patch is available.
Improper handling of failed RESPONSE packet decryption in the Linux kernel's rxrpc subsystem can leave packets in a partially decrypted state when requeued for retry after a temporary processing failure. The flaw affects multiple Linux kernel branches and was resolved upstream by discarding such packets and relying on the CHALLENGE/RESPONSE re-handshake. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS scoring (0.02%, 5th percentile) indicates very low real-world exploitation probability despite the high CVSS rating.
Local privilege escalation potential in the Linux kernel's GFS2 filesystem stems from a use-after-free in the inline data write path of gfs2_iomap_begin(), where the inode buffer head is released before iomap->inline_data is consumed by iomap_write_end_inline(). Local users with the ability to write to a GFS2-backed filesystem can trigger memory corruption via a freed page that kswapd has since reclaimed. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS probability is very low (0.02%), and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV, but vendor patches across multiple stable trees are available.
Local privilege escalation and denial of service in the Linux kernel's AMD XDNA (amdxdna) accelerator driver allows authenticated local users to trigger a use-after-free condition by submitting jobs to a hardware context concurrently with resource release. The flaw affects kernels in the 6.14.9 through 6.15 series and was resolved upstream by stopping job scheduling around aie2_release_resource() and validating context state in aie2_sched_job_run(). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS scoring (0.02%) indicates negligible near-term exploitation probability.
Use-after-free and double-free conditions in the Linux kernel's SMB client (smb2_open_file) can be triggered when SMB2_open() retry paths fail to zero out err_iov and err_buftype buffers, leading to memory corruption. The flaw affects multiple stable kernel branches (6.1, 6.6, 6.12, 6.18) and is fixed in upstream patches; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is very low (0.02%) despite the 9.8 CVSS score.
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel bonding driver's Adaptive Load Balancing (ALB) subsystem allows a local low-privileged user to crash the kernel by racing rlb_arp_recv() against rlb_deinitialize() during rapid bond interface up/down cycling. Specifically, the RX handler continues to dereference rx_hashtbl entries after rlb_deinitialize() frees them, because recv_probe is set to NULL without first draining in-flight softirq handlers via synchronize_net(). Systems running bonded NICs in ALB mode (mode=6) on affected kernel versions - including Dell PowerEdge hardware and Canonical-distributed kernels - are at risk of kernel panic. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS at 0.02% (7th percentile) confirms no observed mass exploitation.
Local privilege escalation or denial-of-service in the Linux kernel's AMD CCP (Cryptographic Coprocessor) driver stems from a misuse of the __cleanup(kfree) attribute on a local pointer, causing kfree() to be invoked with the address of a stack variable rather than the heap allocation returned by kmalloc. The resulting invalid deallocation of a stack address crashes the kernel and could be leveraged by a low-privileged local user for impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CVSS 7.8). EPSS is very low (0.02%) and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but vendor patches are available in stable trees 6.18.14 and 6.19.4.
Local privilege escalation and kernel memory corruption in the Linux kernel's Exynos DRM (drm/exynos) vidi driver allows a low-privileged local user to access arbitrary kernel memory by exploiting an unsafe user pointer dereference in vidi_connection_ioctl(). The flaw affects multiple kernel branches up to 6.18.14 and is fixed in stable releases 5.10.253, 5.15.203, 6.1.167, 6.6.130, 6.12.77, 6.18.14, 6.19.4, and 7.0. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS exploitation probability is very low (0.02%, 7th percentile).
Denial of service in the Linux kernel's RCU (Read-Copy-Update) subsystem allows a local condition to trigger an infinite recursion deadloop in rcu_read_unlock_special() when ftrace is enabled, leading to kernel hang or crash. The flaw stems from a missing recursion-protection flag when raise_softirq_irqoff() is invoked from the RCU unlock path, causing repeated re-entry through the softirq/trace stack. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS rates exploitation probability at 0.02%.
Local privilege escalation and memory corruption in the Linux kernel's Exynos DRM VIDI (Virtual Display) driver allows local users with access to the DRM device to trigger null pointer dereferences, garbage value accesses, out-of-bounds reads, or use-after-free conditions via the vidi_connection_ioctl() handler. The flaw stems from an incorrect device-to-context lookup that retrieves driver_data from the exynos-drm master device instead of the VIDI component device. A vendor patch is available across multiple stable branches, no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS rates exploitation probability at only 0.02%.
High-impact integrity and availability flaw in the Linux kernel's md-llbitmap (multi-device log-based bitmap) subsystem allows a local low-privileged attacker to render RAID bitmap page control structures permanently unusable. When llbitmap_suspend_timeout() times out, percpu_ref is left in a killed state and never resurrected, breaking subsequent md daemon operations on that page. EPSS is very low (0.02%, 4th percentile) and no public exploit is identified at time of analysis, but vendor-released patches are available in 6.18.14 and 6.19.4.
Local privilege escalation in the Linux kernel's BPF subsystem stems from incorrect refcounting in check_pseudo_btf_id() that can leave a BTF (BPF Type Format) object with a zero refcount while still in use, creating a use-after-free condition. Affected kernels (around 6.14 through pre-patch 6.18.14/6.19.4) allow a local low-privileged user capable of loading BPF programs to corrupt kernel memory, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS scoring exploitation likelihood at only 0.02%.
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel's ab8500 power supply driver (drivers/power/supply/ab8500) can be triggered during device removal or probe due to incorrect ordering of devm_-managed resource allocation. The race allows an IRQ handler to invoke power_supply_changed() against a freed or uninitialized power_supply handle, typically resulting in a kernel crash or silent memory corruption. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS is very low (0.02%), and the flaw is not on CISA KEV.
Race condition in the Linux kernel's Intel VT-d IOMMU driver allows a local low-privileged attacker to trigger inconsistent PASID table state during domain replacement, potentially producing spurious IOMMU faults and unpredictable DMA behavior with cross-scope impact. The flaw stems from non-atomic updates to 512-bit PASID entries while the Present bit is set, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis despite a high CVSS score driven by the scope-changed local attack surface.
Race condition in the Intel VT-d IOMMU driver of the Linux kernel allows a window where hardware can fetch a 'torn' context entry while the Present bit is still set, leading to unpredictable IOMMU behavior or spurious DMA faults on affected systems. The flaw stems from non-atomic teardown of 128-bit context entries via multiple 64-bit writes and is addressed by aligning with the VT-d specification's ownership handshake (Section 6.5.3.3); no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS rates exploitation probability at just 0.02%.
Kernel NULL pointer dereference in the Linux EROFS compressed filesystem driver allows a local user reading from an EROFS image to crash the system. The flaw lives in z_erofs_decompress_pcluster(), where compressed folios for ztailpacking pclusters are added to I/O chains before being validated; if inline-data reading fails (notably when a fatal signal interrupts read_mapping_folio()), decompression assumes the folios are valid and dereferences a NULL pointer. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS is negligible (0.02%), and the issue is not in CISA KEV.
Filesystem data integrity issue in the Linux kernel ext4 module allows local low-privileged users to trigger bitmap inconsistencies through a race condition between page migration and ext4 buddy bitmap modification under mixed huge-page workloads. The flaw can produce false group descriptor mismatches and corruption of in-memory block allocation state, with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact per CVSS 7.8 (AV:L). No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and EPSS is very low at 0.02%.
Memory corruption in the Linux kernel's pm8916_lbc power-supply driver (Qualcomm PM8916 PMIC linear battery charger) stems from a use-after-free in power_supply_changed(), where devm-managed teardown ordering lets a charger interrupt fire against a freed or not-yet-initialized power_supply handle during driver probe or removal. Local attackers able to trigger device unbind/rebind or module load/unload can crash the system or silently corrupt kernel memory. EPSS is very low (0.02%) and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis; the issue is not in CISA KEV.
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel's goldfish power-supply driver (drivers/power/supply/goldfish_battery) allows a local attacker to crash the system or corrupt kernel memory by racing device probe/removal against the battery IRQ handler. The driver requested its IRQ via devm_ before registering the power_supply handle, so on teardown the handle is freed while the still-live interrupt can fire and call power_supply_changed() on freed (or, during probe, uninitialized) memory. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS is negligible (0.02%) and the bug is not in CISA KEV.
Heap buffer overflow read in the Linux kernel's NTFS3 filesystem driver allows local attackers to trigger out-of-bounds memory access by mounting or processing a maliciously crafted NTFS volume. The flaw resides in the DeleteIndexEntryRoot path of the do_action function, where an attacker-controlled entry size ('esize') bypasses bounds checks and causes memmove to operate on an unsigned-converted negative offset. EPSS scores exploitation probability at 0.03% (9th percentile) and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.
Local privilege escalation potential in the Linux kernel BPF verifier (introduced in 6.11+ commit 98d7ca374ba4) arises from sync_linked_regs() failing to preserve register IDs when propagating bounds, breaking linked-register tracking and allowing crafted eBPF programs to bypass the verifier's range analysis. EPSS is very low (0.02%) and the issue is not in CISA KEV, but the BPF verifier is a historically high-value local attack surface, and upstream patches landed in 6.12.75, 6.18.14, and 6.19.4. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Privilege escalation in the Linux kernel BPF subsystem allows unprivileged local users to detach tcx and netkit BPF programs from network devices without holding CAP_NET_ADMIN or CAP_SYS_ADMIN, due to a missing capability check in BPF_PROG_DETACH when no program file descriptor is supplied. The flaw enables low-privileged attackers to tamper with networking integrity and availability on affected kernels, though no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS exploitation probability is very low at 0.01%.
Local privilege escalation or denial-of-service in the Linux kernel's AMD XDNA accelerator driver (accel/amdxdna) arises from a use-after-free of the mm structure during iommu_sva_unbind_device(). The driver previously released the mm reference before unbinding, allowing iommu_mm access on freed memory. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS scores this at 0.02% (4th percentile), indicating very low expected exploitation activity in the near term.
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel's OpenVPN data channel offload (ovpn) module allows a local attacker with low privileges to potentially trigger memory corruption when transmitting shared sk_buff packets through ovpn_net_xmit. The flaw stems from continued use of a stale skb pointer after skb_share_check frees the original buffer, affecting peer lookup, skb_dst_drop, and TX statistics paths. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the EPSS probability is very low (0.02%), suggesting the bug is more of a stability and memory-safety concern than an imminently weaponized vector.
Local denial-of-condition in the Linux kernel ext4 filesystem driver allows an internal counter (s_dirtyclusters_counter) to be double-decremented to -1 along the block-allocation error path that triggers during filesystem shutdown, surfacing as a WARNING in ext4_put_super(). The flaw lives between ext4_mb_mark_diskspace_used() and ext4_mb_new_blocks(), where a metadata-write failure causes the dirty-clusters reservation to be released twice. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is negligible (0.02%, 7th percentile); despite the CWE-415 (double free) classification and a 7.8 CVSS, the observed effect is cluster-accounting corruption rather than demonstrated memory corruption.
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel's DAMON sysfs interface (mm/damon/sysfs-schemes) lets a local actor with access to the 'memcg_path' file race a read against a concurrent write that frees the underlying buffer, accessing freed kernel memory. The flaw affects DAMON-enabled builds across the 6.6.96, 6.12.36, 6.15.5 and 6.16-rc lines, and is fixed by serializing both direct reads and writes under damon_sysfs_lock. EPSS is negligible (0.02%, 5th percentile) and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis; it is not in CISA KEV.
Local privilege escalation and kernel memory corruption in the Linux kernel's IPv6 GRE (ip6_gre) subsystem stem from ip6erspan_changelink() using dev_net(dev) instead of the cached t->net after IFLA_NET_NS_FD migration, causing a tunnel to be re-inserted into the wrong per-netns hash. When the original network namespace is later destroyed, the stale entry triggers a slab-use-after-free (flagged by KASAN) and a kernel BUG at LIST_POISON1, reachable from an unprivileged user namespace. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the bug is trivially reachable via unshare and EPSS exploitation probability is low (0.02%).
Information disclosure and denial of service in the Linux kernel's libceph subsystem allows remote Ceph servers (or attackers able to spoof/MITM unauthenticated Ceph traffic) to trigger a slab-out-of-bounds read by sending a crafted CEPH_MSG_AUTH_REPLY message with a positive result value. The flaw causes the kernel client to send memory contents past the allocated front-segment buffer back over the wire, potentially leaking adjacent kernel heap data and destabilizing the host. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is very low (0.02%), but the CVSS of 9.1 reflects the network-reachable, no-privileges-required nature of the bug in affected Ceph client deployments.
Local privilege escalation and kernel memory corruption in the Linux kernel's RDMA/mana driver allows authenticated local users to trigger a user-reachable WARN_ON() and subsequently corrupt kernel memory by specifying Work Queues that share the same Completion Queue through the uAPI of mana_ib_create_qp_rss(). The flaw affects Linux 6.8 through versions before the patched 6.12.91, 6.18.30, 7.0.7, and 7.1-rc3 releases. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS scoring is low at 0.02%.
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel's xfrm (IPsec) state management subsystem allows local attackers with low privileges to trigger memory corruption via concurrent xfrm_state lifecycle operations. The flaw resides in __xfrm_state_delete() where value-based predicates on x->km.seq and x->id.spi can race with xfrm_alloc_spi() outside of xfrm_state_lock, leading to slab-use-after-free writes through LIST_POISON pointers on the byseq/byspi/bydst/bysrc hash chains. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is very low at 0.02% (5th percentile), but a vendor patch is available.
Incorrect bvec coalescing in the Linux kernel's block layer (biovec_phys_mergeable) can merge physically contiguous bio_vec segments that belong to different zone-device dev_pagemaps, corrupting the ability to recover the correct pgmap via page_pgmap() for the merged segment. The flaw affects systems using zone device memory registered in multiple chunks (e.g., DAX/persistent memory or GPU/accelerator memory backends) and was fixed upstream; no public exploit is identified at time of analysis and EPSS exploitation probability is very low (0.02%, 5th percentile).
Remote information disclosure in the Linux kernel's RDMA Soft-RoCE (rxe) driver allows unauthenticated network attackers to leak adjacent kernel skb head-buffer memory by sending zero-length ATOMIC_WRITE RDMA packets. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-46114 and affecting kernels from 6.2 onward, lets a remote initiator extract 4 bytes of kernel tailroom per probe - including kernel strings and partial direct-map pointer words - into an attacker-controlled memory region. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is low (0.05%, 17th percentile), but the vendor (kernel.org) has released stable patches across multiple branches.
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel's KVM x86 shadow MMU allows a malicious guest VM to corrupt host memory and potentially escalate privileges on the hypervisor. The flaw occurs when a guest modifies its page tables between VM entries, causing KVM to install rmap entries outside the expected GFN range of a direct-mapped shadow page; subsequent rmap walks (e.g., during dirty logging or MMU notifier invalidations from MADV_DONTNEED) then dereference a freed kvm_mmu_page. EPSS is very low (0.02%) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the bug has existed since the earliest KVM versions and is now patched upstream.
Local privilege escalation risk in the Linux kernel's RDMA/hns driver stems from an unlocked call to hns_roce_qp_remove() in the error unwind path of hns_roce_qp_remove_common(). Low-privileged local users on systems with HiSilicon RoCE (hns) RDMA hardware could trigger the error flow to corrupt kernel memory, with EPSS at 0.02% indicating no known exploitation, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Local privilege escalation potential in the Linux kernel Bluetooth subsystem (hci_conn) stems from a use-after-free in create_big_sync() when a Broadcast Isochronous Group (BIG) creation races against connection teardown. A local low-privileged attacker on a system with active Bluetooth LE Audio operations could trigger the freed hci_conn dereference through hci_connect_cfm()/hci_conn_del(), enabling memory corruption with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is very low (0.02%, 5th percentile), reflecting limited weaponization despite the CVSS 7.8 rating.
Denial of service in the Linux kernel's stmmac Ethernet driver allows remote attackers to trigger a NULL pointer dereference and kernel panic on systems using STMicroelectronics MAC network controllers under sustained memory pressure. The flaw stems from incomplete handling of the DMA RX descriptor ring lifecycle, where stmmac_rx() cannot distinguish 'full' from 'dirty' descriptors when stmmac_rx_refill() fails to allocate replacement buffers. EPSS rates exploitation probability at only 0.02% (5th percentile), and no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Local privilege escalation or denial-of-service in the Linux kernel's dm-thin (device-mapper thin provisioning) target stems from a metadata reference-count underflow in rebalance_children(). Local users with access to thin-provisioned device-mapper volumes can trigger 'unable to decrement block' errors that corrupt metadata accounting on shared btree nodes, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis and a very low EPSS score (0.02%, 5th percentile) indicating limited exploitation interest despite the high CVSS of 7.8.
Local denial of service in the Linux kernel's mpt3sas SCSI driver allows a privileged local user to trigger a kernel oops by issuing oversized NVMe I/O operations against drives behind Broadcom/LSI MPT3 SAS HBAs. The flaw stems from a size mismatch between firmware-reported MDTS values and the driver's fixed 4K PRP list buffer, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. EPSS is very low (0.02%, 4th percentile), consistent with a kernel reliability bug requiring local privileged access rather than a remote attack surface.
Guest-to-host privilege escalation in Kata Containers runtime-rs (main/3.30 line, standalone virtio-fs path) lets an attacker with root inside a Kata guest VM execute arbitrary code as root on the host. Because runtime-rs launches the host virtiofsd daemon as root with '--sandbox none --seccomp none', a raw FUSE_SYMLINK request naming an absolute host path is honored outside the shared directory, breaking VM isolation. Publicly available exploit code exists (detailed PoC in the GHSA advisory that plants a host-root symlink in /etc/cron.d); there is no CISA KEV listing and EPSS is low at 0.07%.
Remote denial of service in the Linux kernel's stream parser (strparser) subsystem allows attackers to exhaust memory by repeatedly triggering message assembly timeouts that fail to release partially assembled skb buffers. The flaw resides in strp_abort_strp(), which leaks strp->skb_head on abort, and affects kernels from at least 4.9 through the 6.x and 7.x release lines until the fix introduced in 6.6.140, 6.12.86, 6.18.27, 7.0.4, and 7.1-rc1. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS (0.02%, 5th percentile) reflects low predicted exploitation in the next 30 days despite the CVSS 7.5 rating.
Local privilege-impacting memory corruption in the Linux kernel's AFS filesystem can be triggered by an authenticated local user mapping AFS files, leading to a refcount leak that can cause kernel resource exhaustion or use-after-free conditions affecting confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The flaw stems from an incorrect conversion of AFS's mmap handler to the new .mmap_prepare() interface (commit 9d5403b1036c), which leaks reference counts when a VMA merge or allocation failure occurs after the prepare call. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS rates exploitation likelihood at just 0.02%.
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel's IPv6 SR (seg6) and RPL lightweight tunnel input paths can be triggered on PREEMPT_RT builds when a higher-priority task races ksoftirqd during a concurrent FIB lookup on a shared nexthop. The flaw causes dst_cache_set_ip6() to call dst_hold() on a freed per-CPU route, producing a kernel warning or memory corruption that an attacker on the network could leverage for denial of service or potential code execution. EPSS is very low (0.02%) and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel's edt-ft5x06 capacitive touchscreen driver (CWE-416) lets a local actor with access to the driver's per-client debugfs interface read or corrupt freed kernel memory during device teardown. The regression was introduced by commit 68743c500c6e, which removed manual debugfs cleanup and left a window where debugfs files referencing tsdata->raw_buffer remained accessible after the buffer was freed. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS is very low (0.02%, 4th percentile) and it is not in CISA KEV, but a vendor (stable-tree) patch is available.
Out-of-bounds read in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem driver allows a local attacker to read up to 3 bytes beyond a valid extended-attribute (xattr) region, potentially leaking adjacent kernel memory or crashing the system. The flaw lives in check_xattrs(), where a loose bounds check on the next xattr entry lets IS_LAST_ENTRY() perform a 4-byte read that overruns the buffer when parsing a crafted or corrupted ext4 xattr block. It is not in CISA KEV and no public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS is negligible at 0.02% (5th percentile), consistent with a low-impact local memory-safety bug that has already been patched upstream.
Concurrent execution race in the Linux kernel's mm/vmalloc subsystem allows a local low-privileged attacker to trigger memory corruption or leaks by exercising the vmap_node shrinker simultaneously with lazy vmap purge operations. The flaw stems from unserialized invocation of decay_va_pool_node() between __purge_vmap_area_lazy() and the shrinker path. EPSS is very low (0.02%) and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the issue is patched upstream in the stable tree.
Local privilege escalation potential via use-after-free in the Linux kernel's ALSA aloop (snd-aloop) driver allows authenticated local users to trigger memory corruption by racing PCM stream close against a peer format-change stop. The flaw stems from snd_pcm_stop() running after cable->lock is dropped, leaving a stale peer substream pointer that can be freed by a concurrent close. Upstream fixes are merged into stable trees (6.12.88, 6.18.27, 7.0.4, 7.1-rc2); no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is very low at 0.02%.
Remote denial-of-service in the Linux kernel rxrpc subsystem (rxkad authentication) allows unauthenticated network attackers to crash vulnerable hosts by sending packets with misaligned crypto length fields. The flaw stems from improper handling of decryption errors and a remotely-triggerable WARN_ON_ONCE() in the rxkad packet processing path. EPSS scoring is very low (0.02%) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the CVSS 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) rating reflects the unauthenticated remote availability impact.
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel's RDMA mana_ib driver (Microsoft Azure Network Adapter) lets a local user trigger stale firmware RX steering after destroying an RSS QP, so incoming completions land on reused CQ IDs and corrupt kernel state. It affects Linux deployments on Azure VMs using MANA with RDMA/DPDK; an attacker who can create and destroy RSS QPs (e.g., via a DPDK application exit while a peer keeps transmitting) can drive completions onto TX CQs and crash or corrupt the driver. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is negligible (0.02%, 5th percentile), indicating low real-world exploitation likelihood.
Local privilege escalation via memory corruption in Linux Kernel crypto subsystem (acomp) affects systems using asynchronous hardware compression accelerators such as Intel QAT. The flaw stems from acomp_save_req() storing the wrong pointer (&req->chain instead of req itself) in req->base.data, causing the completion callback acomp_reqchain_done() to dereference fields at incorrect offsets. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is very low at 0.02%, but the high CVSS (7.8) reflects potential for memory corruption with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.
Out-of-bounds read in the Linux kernel's EROFS filesystem driver allows a local attacker to crash the system or potentially leak kernel memory by mounting a crafted EROFS image. The flaw stems from missing validation of the trailing dirent nameoff field, which can underflow during strnlen() and cause reads beyond the directory block. EPSS is very low (0.02%) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but a vendor patch is available across multiple stable kernel branches.
Privilege escalation and denial of service in the Linux kernel's nested SVM (nSVM) virtualization subsystem allows an L2 guest to issue VMMCALL hypercalls as if it were L1 when nested_svm_l2_tlb_flush_enabled() is true, L1 does not intercept VMMCALL, and the hypercall is not a supported Hyper-V call. The fix forces KVM to synthesize a #UD exception in this scenario, matching architectural behavior; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS exploitation probability is negligible (0.02%).
Local privilege escalation and memory corruption in the Linux kernel's atmel-sha204a crypto driver allows an attacker who can remove or unbind the device to trigger a use-after-free during the driver teardown path. The flaw stems from failing to unregister the hwrng and flush the Atmel I2C workqueue before teardown, letting a queued ->read() callback execute against freed state, and an early return that also leaks the hwrng.priv allocation. EPSS is very low (0.02%) and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, so this is a defense-in-depth hardening fix rather than an urgent emergency.
Out-of-bounds read in the Linux kernel md/raid5 journal recovery path allows a local privileged user supplying a corrupted MD RAID5 journal device to trigger memory disclosure or kernel crashes during journal replay. The flaw exists in r5c_recovery_analyze_meta_block() and r5l_recovery_verify_data_checksum_for_mb(), which trusted on-disk payload size fields without validating them against the metadata block's remaining space. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS scores exploitation probability at just 0.02% (5th percentile).
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel's mwifiex Wi-Fi driver (Marvell) occurs during adapter teardown: mwifiex_adapter_cleanup() calls the non-synchronous timer_delete() on the wakeup_timer, so a still-running wakeup_timer_fn callback can dereference adapter fields (hw_status, if_ops.card_reset) after mwifiex_free_adapter() frees them along the card-removal path. A local attacker who can trigger device removal while the timer fires could corrupt freed kernel memory, enabling privilege escalation or denial of service. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS is negligible (0.02%, 5th percentile), and the fix (timer_delete_sync()) is merged into stable releases.
Improper memory deallocation in the Linux kernel's NX-842 hardware compression crypto driver (nx842_crypto_alloc_ctx/free_ctx) causes bounce buffers allocated as order-2 (4 pages) to be released with single-page free_page() calls, leaking three of every four pages. The flaw is local-only with no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS (0.02%, 5th percentile) reflects negligible mass-exploitation interest. Note that the NVD CVSS (7.8, C:H/I:H/A:H) appears overstated for what the upstream commit explicitly describes as a memory leak rather than corruption.
Out-of-bounds memory access in the Linux kernel's DAMON (Data Access MONitor) subsystem allows a local user with access to the DAMON sysfs interface to read out-of-bounds kernel memory or crash the system. The flaw exists because mm/damon/core failed to validate the user-supplied node ID (damos_quota_goal->nid) before using it in NODE_DATA() for the node_memcg_used_bp and node_memcg_free_bp quota goal metrics. The kernel description includes a working reproduction using the user-space 'damo' tool, but no public weaponized exploit and no active exploitation (CISA KEV) have been reported; EPSS is negligible at 0.02%.
Local privilege escalation and memory corruption in the Linux kernel fbdev deferred I/O subsystem allows local low-privileged users to trigger undefined behavior when a framebuffer device is hot-unplugged while user space retains an active memory mapping. The flaw stems from improper lifetime management between struct fb_info and deferred I/O state, leading to use-after-free conditions with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact (CVSS 7.8). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS exploitation probability is very low (0.02%).
Out-of-bounds heap read in the Linux kernel's ibmasm driver (the IBM Advanced System Management service-processor interface) lets a local privileged user leak adjacent kernel heap memory. The ibmasm_send_i2o_message() function trusts user-controlled command_size and data_size header fields to size a memcpy_toio() without validating them against the real allocation, so a small buffer with inflated header values forces a read of up to ~65 KB past the allocation, which is then forwarded to the service processor over MMIO. EPSS is negligible (0.02%, 5th percentile) and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Integer overflow in the Linux kernel's ntfs3 filesystem driver allows local attackers to bypass volume boundary validation when mounting or accessing a crafted NTFS volume, leading to memory corruption with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. The flaw resides in run_unpack() where the check `lcn + len > sbi->used.bitmap.nbits` performs raw addition that wraps for large values, sidestepping the bounds check. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is very low (0.02%), but CVSS 7.8 with required user interaction reflects realistic local privilege-escalation potential when untrusted NTFS media is processed.
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel's amphion VPU media driver allows local privileged users to trigger a kernel panic and potential memory corruption due to a race condition between v4l2_m2m_ctx_release() and v4l2_m2m_try_run(). The flaw affects systems using the amphion video encode/decode driver (introduced in 5.18) and has been resolved upstream by removing reliance on the m2m framework's job scheduling. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is very low (0.02%), but the local high-impact CVSS of 7.8 makes it relevant for multi-tenant or hardened kernel deployments.
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel Bluetooth subsystem (hci_event) allows an adjacent attacker within Bluetooth range to potentially achieve memory corruption against vulnerable hosts during SSP pairing. The flaw stems from missing hdev locking in hci_user_passkey_notify_evt() and hci_keypress_notify_evt(), where an hci_conn structure can be freed concurrently while still in use. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS exploitation probability is very low (0.02%).
Out-of-bounds read in the Linux kernel's AppArmor LSM subsystem (security/apparmor/match.c) allows a local low-privileged user to trigger a KASAN slab-out-of-bounds read via the mount() syscall on kernels 7.0 through 7.0.3 and 7.1-rc1. The flaw stems from a missing string terminator that causes aa_dfa_match() to read past the end of an 8KB kmalloc buffer when processing mount path strings, resulting in potential information disclosure and system instability (denial of service). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS probability is negligible at 0.02%.
Local privilege-bounded information disclosure and integrity compromise in the Linux kernel's SELinux module affects overlayfs mounts where mmap() and mprotect() operations bypass the intended dual-credential access checks. A local authenticated user with access to an overlayfs top-level (user) file can map or change protections on backing files without the mounter's credentials being properly evaluated, undermining the SELinux overlayfs security model. EPSS is very low (0.02%, 5th percentile) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Local privilege escalation risk in the Linux kernel's RDS (Reliable Datagram Sockets) subsystem stems from a double-free condition in __rds_rdma_map() when a put_user() copy of the MR cookie fails after get_mr() has transferred sg/pages ownership to the transport. A local authenticated attacker triggering this race or fault path could cause memory corruption with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact (CVSS 7.8). No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is low at 0.02%, but a vendor-released patch is available across multiple stable branches.
Denial of service in the Linux kernel Ceph client allows local users with access to a Ceph-mounted filesystem to trigger d_hash list corruption and RCU stalls by inducing path lookups against reused cached negative dentries. The flaw stems from fs/ceph/dir.c calling d_add(dentry, NULL) on already-hashed negative dentries, creating self-loops in the hlist_bl bucket that cause __d_lookup() to spin indefinitely. EPSS is 0.02% (5th percentile) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the bug has been reproduced organically in production (RCU stall on a Dell PowerEdge R7615 running 6.18.17).
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel's QRTR (Qualcomm IPC Router) name service driver remove path allows local low-privileged users to corrupt memory and potentially escalate privileges. The flaw occurs because qrtr_ns_data_ready() can queue work to a workqueue that has already been destroyed during driver teardown, dereferencing freed memory. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS is very low (0.02%), and the fix has landed across multiple stable kernel trees.
Data corruption in the Linux kernel md-llbitmap RAID subsystem allows stale bitmap pages to be read from spare disks during rebuild. The md-llbitmap code iterated rdevs checking only raid_disk assignment and the Faulty flag, omitting the In_sync flag, so bitmap data could be sourced from a not-yet-synchronized spare. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS exploitation probability is negligible (0.02%), but the bug can silently corrupt arrays during normal operation or recovery.
Remote denial of service and potential memory corruption in the Linux kernel's RDMA Software RoCE (rxe) driver allows network attackers to send malformed RDMA packets that bypass length validation in rxe_rcv(). Affected systems with the rxe module loaded and reachable on the network can experience integer underflow in payload_size() due to an attacker-controlled BTH pad field, leading to negative values being passed to downstream receive-path handlers. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is very low (0.02%), but the CVSS 9.1 rating reflects the unauthenticated network attack surface where rxe is exposed.
Integer overflow in the Linux kernel's rxgk (RxRPC GSS Kerberos) token extraction routine allows remote attackers to potentially trigger memory corruption via length-check bypass in rxgk_extract_token(). The flaw affects Linux kernel versions in the 6.16.9-to-6.17 range and was fixed by changing the validation to round down available data instead of rounding up the tested value. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS exploitation probability is very low at 0.02%.
Out-of-bounds read in the Linux kernel's IPv4 ICMP handling allows remote attackers to trigger denial of service and potential information disclosure by sending crafted ICMP Extended Echo Reply packets. The flaw stems from the kernel consulting the icmp_pointers[] array with reply types (ICMP_EXT_ECHOREPLY) that fall outside its bounded range (NR_ICMP_TYPES). No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS probability is very low (0.02%), but the network attack vector and high availability impact make patching a priority for exposed Linux hosts.
Local privilege escalation in the Linux kernel's vfio/cdx (Composable DMA-capable eXtension) driver allows a process with access to a VFIO device file descriptor to trigger a use-after-free of the cdx_irqs array via concurrent VFIO_DEVICE_SET_IRQS ioctls. The race in vfio_cdx_set_msi_trigger() can be exploited by a local low-privileged attacker for memory corruption with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact (CVSS 7.8). There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is very low (0.02%, 5th percentile).
Out-of-bounds read in the Linux kernel's crypto authencesn AEAD wrapper allows a local user with AF_ALG access to trigger memory disclosure and possible denial of service by instantiating an authencesn transform built on an ahash whose digest size is 1-3 bytes (for example cbcmac(cipher_null)). The flaw stems from crypto_authenc_esn_create() failing to validate the inner digest size, letting an invalid default authsize bypass the existing setauthsize() check. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS probability is negligible (0.02%), but the upstream fix is shipping across multiple stable trees.
Denial of service in the Linux kernel ks8851 Ethernet driver allows a deadlock condition when handling concurrent IRQ and TX softirq processing on systems using the Micrel KS8851 MAC/PHY chip. The flaw manifests when the IRQ handler executes netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align() with bottom-halves enabled, triggering pending softirq processing that re-enters the driver's xmit path and attempts to re-acquire an already-held spinlock. EPSS scores this at 0.02% (5th percentile) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, consistent with a local hardware-dependent stability bug rather than a remotely weaponizable vulnerability.
Slab allocator corruption in the Linux kernel's mm/slab subsystem allows local low-privileged users on uniprocessor (UP, !CONFIG_SMP) builds to potentially corrupt kernel memory state when kmalloc_nolock() is invoked from NMI context. The flaw stems from spin_trylock() being a no-op on UP kernels, allowing re-entry into the slab allocator while n->list_lock is already held by the interrupted context. EPSS is very low (0.02%) and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, though an upstream patch is available.
Denial-of-service in the Linux kernel's SMC (Shared Memory Communications) networking subsystem allows remote attackers to crash the kernel by sending a CLC decline message during the early stage of an SMC handshake before the connection is associated with a link group. The flaw, tracked as EUVD-2026-32408, stems from smc_clc_wait_msg() accessing link-group sync state that does not yet exist at that point in the handshake. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS probability is very low (0.02%, 5th percentile), but the network attack vector and high availability impact warrant patching on systems that use SMC.
Denial of service in the Linux kernel's libceph subsystem allows remote attackers to crash the kernel via a malformed CEPH_MSG_AUTH_REPLY message containing zero values for both protocol and result fields. The flaw resides in ceph_handle_auth_reply() where a missing validation causes ac->ops to be set to NULL before being dereferenced. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is extremely low (0.02%), but the network attack vector with no authentication and high availability impact warrants prompt patching on Ceph-enabled systems.
Out-of-bounds MMIO read in the Linux kernel's ibmasm (IBM Advanced System Management) misc driver allows a compromised IBM service processor to read 8 bytes from unintended device registers or trigger a machine check exception (system crash) by writing an out-of-range queue reader/writer index before asserting an interrupt. The flaw resides in ibmasm_handle_mouse_interrupt() where raw readl() values are passed unchecked to get_queue_entry(), and is fixed by bounds-checking both indices against REMOTE_QUEUE_SIZE (60). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS probability is negligible at 0.02%.
Out-of-bounds memory access in the Linux kernel's DAMON (Data Access MONitor) subsystem allows privileged local users to crash the kernel by supplying arbitrary node IDs to damos_quota_goal via DAMON_SYSFS. Affecting Linux 6.16 and fixed in 6.18.27, 7.0.4, and 7.1-rc1, the flaw stems from missing validation before si_meminfo_node()/NODE_DATA() lookups and is reproducible with the upstream 'damo' user-space tool. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is very low at 0.02%.
Race condition and missed wake-up in the Linux kernel TCP listener migration path (SO_REUSEPORT) allows local low-privileged attackers to cause hangs and potentially exploit a use-after-free on listener sockets. Affects kernels from 5.14 up to versions fixed in 6.6.140, 6.12.86, 6.18.27, 7.0.4, and 7.1-rc1. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is very low (0.02%).
Local privilege escalation and memory corruption in the Linux kernel's MediaTek JPEG (mtk-jpeg) media driver allows a local user with access to the device to trigger a use-after-free condition. The flaw occurs in mtk_jpeg_release() which frees the context structure without first cancelling pending workqueue items, creating a race window during device close where the worker thread accesses freed memory. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS rates exploitation probability at just 0.02%, but the bug is fixed across multiple stable trees.
Memory exhaustion handling flaw in the Linux kernel's rxrpc/rxgk subsystem allows network-adjacent attackers to potentially trigger unsafe code paths when rxgk_decrypt_skb() returns -ENOMEM during RxGSS-Kerberos token extraction. Affected kernels include the 6.17 series and specific commits in 6.16.9 onward, fixed in upstream commits and stable backports targeting 6.18.27 and 7.1-rc1. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is very low (0.02%) despite the 8.1 CVSS score.
Local privilege escalation potential in the Linux kernel's Nouveau DRM driver stems from a 32-bit integer overflow in the pushbuf relocation bounds check (nouveau_gem_pushbuf_reloc_apply). Authenticated local users with access to the Nouveau GPU device node can bypass the size validation and trigger out-of-bounds writes against the buffer object, leading to high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is very low (0.02%), but a vendor patch is available across multiple stable kernel branches.
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel ALSA caiaq USB audio driver allows local code execution when the device probe path encounters an error during setup_card(). The setup_card() function previously ignored failures from snd_card_register() and continued executing, leaving freed card structures accessible to subsequent initialization calls such as snd_usb_caiaq_control_init(). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is low at 0.02% (5th percentile), consistent with the local attack vector and narrow hardware-driver scope.
Stack buffer overrun in the Linux kernel's pt5161l hwmon driver allows a malicious or malfunctioning I2C device to write up to 32 bytes into a 24-byte stack buffer during pt5161l_read_block_data(), corrupting kernel memory. The flaw affects Linux 6.9 through versions before the stable fixes, and a secondary bug causes the driver to process stale data as valid when retries are exhausted with a length mismatch. EPSS is very low (0.02%) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Local denial of service and potential information disclosure in the Linux kernel's EROFS filesystem affects versions from 5.13 through pre-patch releases, where a crafted EROFS image triggers an unsigned integer underflow in z_erofs_lz4_handle_overlap(). When a malicious image is mounted and a file is read, the LZ4 inplace decompression path wraps the 'outpages - inpages' calculation to a huge value and reads past the decompressed_pages array. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS probability is very low (0.02%), but a reproducible proof-of-concept image is embedded in the upstream commit message.
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel's rxrpc (AF_RXRPC) networking subsystem allows local attackers with low privileges to trigger memory corruption when skb_unshare() fails during packet input handling. Affected Linux kernel versions from 6.2 up to the fixed releases can be exploited to cause a NULL-pointer oops and potentially escalate privileges or crash the system. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS is very low (0.02%) and the issue is not present in CISA KEV.
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel's i.MX SPI driver (spi-imx) can be triggered when the driver is unbound, allowing a local privileged user to corrupt kernel memory and potentially escalate to full kernel code execution. EPSS is very low (0.02%) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but a kernel-level UAF with high CIA impact warrants prompt patching on affected i.MX-based systems.
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel's io_uring zero-copy receive (zcrx) subsystem allows local low-privileged attackers to corrupt memory and potentially escalate privileges. The flaw stems from io_free_rbuf_ring() accessing a struct user_struct after io_zcrx_ifq_free() has already released the reference, creating a UAF window. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS probability is very low (0.02%), but the bug class (UAF in io_uring) has historically been weaponized for LPE.
Out-of-bounds read in the Linux kernel's ibmasm driver allows a local low-privileged user with write access to the ibmasm command character device to leak kernel heap memory to the IBM Advanced System Management service processor and potentially destabilize the host. The flaw resides in command_file_write(), which trusts attacker-controlled command_size/data_size header fields after allocating a buffer of arbitrary count, enabling get_dot_command_size() to return a value larger than the allocation. EPSS is 0.02% and no public exploit is identified at time of analysis; the issue is not on CISA KEV.
Heap out-of-bounds write in the Linux kernel UDF filesystem driver allows a local attacker to corrupt kernel memory by mounting a crafted UDF image containing repeated partition descriptors. The flaw stems from incorrect bookkeeping in handle_partition_descriptor() where appended slots never record partnum, causing duplicate descriptors to overflow the part_descs_loc[] table. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS scores the exploitation probability at only 0.02%.
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel's Open Firmware (OF) device tree unittest driver (testdrv_probe) allows local low-privileged attackers to corrupt memory and potentially escalate privileges. The flaw stems from an erroneous of_node_put() call that releases a device_node reference owned by the device model, which can then be dereferenced later in of_platform_default_populate(). EPSS is very low (0.02%) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but a vendor patch is available.
Improper handling of failed RESPONSE packet decryption in the Linux kernel's rxrpc subsystem can leave packets in a partially decrypted state when requeued for retry after a temporary processing failure. The flaw affects multiple Linux kernel branches and was resolved upstream by discarding such packets and relying on the CHALLENGE/RESPONSE re-handshake. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS scoring (0.02%, 5th percentile) indicates very low real-world exploitation probability despite the high CVSS rating.
Local privilege escalation potential in the Linux kernel's GFS2 filesystem stems from a use-after-free in the inline data write path of gfs2_iomap_begin(), where the inode buffer head is released before iomap->inline_data is consumed by iomap_write_end_inline(). Local users with the ability to write to a GFS2-backed filesystem can trigger memory corruption via a freed page that kswapd has since reclaimed. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS probability is very low (0.02%), and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV, but vendor patches across multiple stable trees are available.
Local privilege escalation and denial of service in the Linux kernel's AMD XDNA (amdxdna) accelerator driver allows authenticated local users to trigger a use-after-free condition by submitting jobs to a hardware context concurrently with resource release. The flaw affects kernels in the 6.14.9 through 6.15 series and was resolved upstream by stopping job scheduling around aie2_release_resource() and validating context state in aie2_sched_job_run(). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS scoring (0.02%) indicates negligible near-term exploitation probability.
Use-after-free and double-free conditions in the Linux kernel's SMB client (smb2_open_file) can be triggered when SMB2_open() retry paths fail to zero out err_iov and err_buftype buffers, leading to memory corruption. The flaw affects multiple stable kernel branches (6.1, 6.6, 6.12, 6.18) and is fixed in upstream patches; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is very low (0.02%) despite the 9.8 CVSS score.
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel bonding driver's Adaptive Load Balancing (ALB) subsystem allows a local low-privileged user to crash the kernel by racing rlb_arp_recv() against rlb_deinitialize() during rapid bond interface up/down cycling. Specifically, the RX handler continues to dereference rx_hashtbl entries after rlb_deinitialize() frees them, because recv_probe is set to NULL without first draining in-flight softirq handlers via synchronize_net(). Systems running bonded NICs in ALB mode (mode=6) on affected kernel versions - including Dell PowerEdge hardware and Canonical-distributed kernels - are at risk of kernel panic. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS at 0.02% (7th percentile) confirms no observed mass exploitation.
Local privilege escalation or denial-of-service in the Linux kernel's AMD CCP (Cryptographic Coprocessor) driver stems from a misuse of the __cleanup(kfree) attribute on a local pointer, causing kfree() to be invoked with the address of a stack variable rather than the heap allocation returned by kmalloc. The resulting invalid deallocation of a stack address crashes the kernel and could be leveraged by a low-privileged local user for impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CVSS 7.8). EPSS is very low (0.02%) and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but vendor patches are available in stable trees 6.18.14 and 6.19.4.
Local privilege escalation and kernel memory corruption in the Linux kernel's Exynos DRM (drm/exynos) vidi driver allows a low-privileged local user to access arbitrary kernel memory by exploiting an unsafe user pointer dereference in vidi_connection_ioctl(). The flaw affects multiple kernel branches up to 6.18.14 and is fixed in stable releases 5.10.253, 5.15.203, 6.1.167, 6.6.130, 6.12.77, 6.18.14, 6.19.4, and 7.0. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS exploitation probability is very low (0.02%, 7th percentile).
Denial of service in the Linux kernel's RCU (Read-Copy-Update) subsystem allows a local condition to trigger an infinite recursion deadloop in rcu_read_unlock_special() when ftrace is enabled, leading to kernel hang or crash. The flaw stems from a missing recursion-protection flag when raise_softirq_irqoff() is invoked from the RCU unlock path, causing repeated re-entry through the softirq/trace stack. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS rates exploitation probability at 0.02%.
Local privilege escalation and memory corruption in the Linux kernel's Exynos DRM VIDI (Virtual Display) driver allows local users with access to the DRM device to trigger null pointer dereferences, garbage value accesses, out-of-bounds reads, or use-after-free conditions via the vidi_connection_ioctl() handler. The flaw stems from an incorrect device-to-context lookup that retrieves driver_data from the exynos-drm master device instead of the VIDI component device. A vendor patch is available across multiple stable branches, no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS rates exploitation probability at only 0.02%.
High-impact integrity and availability flaw in the Linux kernel's md-llbitmap (multi-device log-based bitmap) subsystem allows a local low-privileged attacker to render RAID bitmap page control structures permanently unusable. When llbitmap_suspend_timeout() times out, percpu_ref is left in a killed state and never resurrected, breaking subsequent md daemon operations on that page. EPSS is very low (0.02%, 4th percentile) and no public exploit is identified at time of analysis, but vendor-released patches are available in 6.18.14 and 6.19.4.
Local privilege escalation in the Linux kernel's BPF subsystem stems from incorrect refcounting in check_pseudo_btf_id() that can leave a BTF (BPF Type Format) object with a zero refcount while still in use, creating a use-after-free condition. Affected kernels (around 6.14 through pre-patch 6.18.14/6.19.4) allow a local low-privileged user capable of loading BPF programs to corrupt kernel memory, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS scoring exploitation likelihood at only 0.02%.
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel's ab8500 power supply driver (drivers/power/supply/ab8500) can be triggered during device removal or probe due to incorrect ordering of devm_-managed resource allocation. The race allows an IRQ handler to invoke power_supply_changed() against a freed or uninitialized power_supply handle, typically resulting in a kernel crash or silent memory corruption. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS is very low (0.02%), and the flaw is not on CISA KEV.
Race condition in the Linux kernel's Intel VT-d IOMMU driver allows a local low-privileged attacker to trigger inconsistent PASID table state during domain replacement, potentially producing spurious IOMMU faults and unpredictable DMA behavior with cross-scope impact. The flaw stems from non-atomic updates to 512-bit PASID entries while the Present bit is set, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis despite a high CVSS score driven by the scope-changed local attack surface.
Race condition in the Intel VT-d IOMMU driver of the Linux kernel allows a window where hardware can fetch a 'torn' context entry while the Present bit is still set, leading to unpredictable IOMMU behavior or spurious DMA faults on affected systems. The flaw stems from non-atomic teardown of 128-bit context entries via multiple 64-bit writes and is addressed by aligning with the VT-d specification's ownership handshake (Section 6.5.3.3); no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS rates exploitation probability at just 0.02%.
Kernel NULL pointer dereference in the Linux EROFS compressed filesystem driver allows a local user reading from an EROFS image to crash the system. The flaw lives in z_erofs_decompress_pcluster(), where compressed folios for ztailpacking pclusters are added to I/O chains before being validated; if inline-data reading fails (notably when a fatal signal interrupts read_mapping_folio()), decompression assumes the folios are valid and dereferences a NULL pointer. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS is negligible (0.02%), and the issue is not in CISA KEV.
Filesystem data integrity issue in the Linux kernel ext4 module allows local low-privileged users to trigger bitmap inconsistencies through a race condition between page migration and ext4 buddy bitmap modification under mixed huge-page workloads. The flaw can produce false group descriptor mismatches and corruption of in-memory block allocation state, with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact per CVSS 7.8 (AV:L). No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and EPSS is very low at 0.02%.
Memory corruption in the Linux kernel's pm8916_lbc power-supply driver (Qualcomm PM8916 PMIC linear battery charger) stems from a use-after-free in power_supply_changed(), where devm-managed teardown ordering lets a charger interrupt fire against a freed or not-yet-initialized power_supply handle during driver probe or removal. Local attackers able to trigger device unbind/rebind or module load/unload can crash the system or silently corrupt kernel memory. EPSS is very low (0.02%) and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis; the issue is not in CISA KEV.
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel's goldfish power-supply driver (drivers/power/supply/goldfish_battery) allows a local attacker to crash the system or corrupt kernel memory by racing device probe/removal against the battery IRQ handler. The driver requested its IRQ via devm_ before registering the power_supply handle, so on teardown the handle is freed while the still-live interrupt can fire and call power_supply_changed() on freed (or, during probe, uninitialized) memory. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS is negligible (0.02%) and the bug is not in CISA KEV.
Heap buffer overflow read in the Linux kernel's NTFS3 filesystem driver allows local attackers to trigger out-of-bounds memory access by mounting or processing a maliciously crafted NTFS volume. The flaw resides in the DeleteIndexEntryRoot path of the do_action function, where an attacker-controlled entry size ('esize') bypasses bounds checks and causes memmove to operate on an unsigned-converted negative offset. EPSS scores exploitation probability at 0.03% (9th percentile) and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.
Local privilege escalation potential in the Linux kernel BPF verifier (introduced in 6.11+ commit 98d7ca374ba4) arises from sync_linked_regs() failing to preserve register IDs when propagating bounds, breaking linked-register tracking and allowing crafted eBPF programs to bypass the verifier's range analysis. EPSS is very low (0.02%) and the issue is not in CISA KEV, but the BPF verifier is a historically high-value local attack surface, and upstream patches landed in 6.12.75, 6.18.14, and 6.19.4. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Privilege escalation in the Linux kernel BPF subsystem allows unprivileged local users to detach tcx and netkit BPF programs from network devices without holding CAP_NET_ADMIN or CAP_SYS_ADMIN, due to a missing capability check in BPF_PROG_DETACH when no program file descriptor is supplied. The flaw enables low-privileged attackers to tamper with networking integrity and availability on affected kernels, though no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS exploitation probability is very low at 0.01%.
Local privilege escalation or denial-of-service in the Linux kernel's AMD XDNA accelerator driver (accel/amdxdna) arises from a use-after-free of the mm structure during iommu_sva_unbind_device(). The driver previously released the mm reference before unbinding, allowing iommu_mm access on freed memory. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS scores this at 0.02% (4th percentile), indicating very low expected exploitation activity in the near term.
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel's OpenVPN data channel offload (ovpn) module allows a local attacker with low privileges to potentially trigger memory corruption when transmitting shared sk_buff packets through ovpn_net_xmit. The flaw stems from continued use of a stale skb pointer after skb_share_check frees the original buffer, affecting peer lookup, skb_dst_drop, and TX statistics paths. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the EPSS probability is very low (0.02%), suggesting the bug is more of a stability and memory-safety concern than an imminently weaponized vector.
Local denial-of-condition in the Linux kernel ext4 filesystem driver allows an internal counter (s_dirtyclusters_counter) to be double-decremented to -1 along the block-allocation error path that triggers during filesystem shutdown, surfacing as a WARNING in ext4_put_super(). The flaw lives between ext4_mb_mark_diskspace_used() and ext4_mb_new_blocks(), where a metadata-write failure causes the dirty-clusters reservation to be released twice. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is negligible (0.02%, 7th percentile); despite the CWE-415 (double free) classification and a 7.8 CVSS, the observed effect is cluster-accounting corruption rather than demonstrated memory corruption.
