Information Disclosure
Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
How It Works
Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security. This happens through multiple channels: verbose error messages that display stack traces revealing internal paths and frameworks, improperly secured debug endpoints left active in production, and misconfigured servers that expose directory listings or version control artifacts like .git folders. APIs often leak excessive data in responses—returning full user objects when only a name is needed, or revealing system internals through metadata fields.
Attackers exploit these exposures systematically. They probe for common sensitive files (.env, config.php, backup archives), trigger error conditions to extract framework details, and analyze response timing or content differences to enumerate valid usernames or resources. Even subtle variations—like "invalid password" versus "user not found"—enable account enumeration. Exposed configuration files frequently contain database credentials, API keys, or internal service URLs that unlock further attack vectors.
The attack flow typically starts with passive reconnaissance: examining HTTP headers, JavaScript bundles, and public endpoints for version information and architecture clues. Active probing follows—testing predictable paths, manipulating parameters to trigger exceptions, and comparing responses across similar requests to identify information leakage patterns.
Impact
- Credential compromise: Exposed configuration files, hardcoded secrets in source code, or API keys enable direct authentication bypass
- Attack surface mapping: Stack traces, framework versions, and internal paths help attackers craft targeted exploits for known vulnerabilities
- Data breach: Direct exposure of user data, payment information, or proprietary business logic through oversharing APIs or accessible backups
- Privilege escalation pathway: Internal URLs, service discovery information, and architecture details facilitate lateral movement and SSRF attacks
- Compliance violations: GDPR, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA penalties for exposing regulated data through preventable disclosures
Real-World Examples
A major Git repository exposure affected thousands of websites when .git folders remained accessible on production servers, allowing attackers to reconstruct entire source code histories including deleted commits containing credentials. Tools like GitDumper automated mass exploitation of this misconfiguration.
Cloud storage misconfigurations have repeatedly exposed sensitive data when companies left S3 buckets or Azure Blob containers publicly readable. One incident exposed 150 million voter records because verbose API error messages revealed the storage URL structure, and no authentication was required.
Framework debug modes left enabled in production have caused numerous breaches. Django's DEBUG=True setting exposed complete stack traces with database queries and environment variables, while Laravel's debug pages revealed encryption keys through the APP_KEY variable in environment dumps.
Mitigation
- Generic error pages: Return uniform error messages to users; log detailed exceptions server-side only
- Disable debug modes: Enforce production configurations that suppress stack traces, verbose logging, and debug endpoints through deployment automation
- Access control audits: Restrict or remove development artifacts (
.git, backup files,phpinfo()) and internal endpoints before deployment - Response minimization: API responses should return only necessary fields; implement allowlists rather than blocklists for data exposure
- Security headers: Deploy
X-Content-Type-Options, remove server version banners, and disable directory indexing - Timing consistency: Ensure authentication and validation responses take uniform time regardless of input validity

Out-of-bounds read in the Linux kernel's USB CDC-WDM (Communication Device Class - Wireless Device Management) driver allows a local low-privileged attacker to disclose uninitialized kernel memory and potentially crash the host through a memory-ordering race between desc->length updates and a memmove() in the read path. The flaw stems from compiler reordering or CPU out-of-order execution that can cause wdm_read() to observe an updated length before the corresponding data is fully copied, leading copy_to_user() to operate on uninitialized memory. EPSS is very low (0.02%, 7th percentile), there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not on the CISA KEV list.
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel's Renesas USB host (renesas_usbhs) driver allows a local low-privileged attacker to potentially corrupt memory or escalate privileges during device removal. The flaw stems from the interrupt handler remaining registered while driver resources, including the pipe array, are freed in usbhs_remove(), creating a race window where the ISR can dereference freed memory. EPSS is very low (0.02%, 7th percentile) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the kernel-level memory corruption impact (CVSS 7.8) makes it a meaningful local risk on affected Renesas USB hardware.
Denial of service in the Linux kernel mdc800 USB imaging driver allows a local low-privileged user to crash the kernel by triggering a URB double-submission race condition. The mdc800_device_read() function submits a USB Request Block (URB) but fails to cancel it on timeout, leaving it active; a subsequent read() resubmits the same in-flight URB, triggering a kernel WARN in usb_submit_urb() that can destabilize the system. No public exploit exists and no active exploitation has been identified - EPSS is 0.02% (7th percentile), reflecting the hardware-specific, local-access-only nature of this flaw.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: gadget: f_ncm: Fix atomic context locking issue The ncm_set_alt function was holding a mutex to protect against races with configfs, which invokes the might-sleep function inside an atomic context. Remove the struct net_device pointer from the f_ncm_opts structure to eliminate the contention. The connection state is now managed by a new boolean flag to preserve the use-after-free fix from commit 6334b8e4553c ("usb: gadget: f_ncm: Fix UAF ncm object at re-bind after usb ep transport error").

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ceph: fix i_nlink underrun during async unlink During async unlink, we drop the `i_nlink` counter before we receive the completion (that will eventually update the `i_nlink`) because "we assume that the unlink will succeed". That is not a bad idea, but it races against deletions by other clients (or against the completion of our own unlink) and can lead to an underrun which emits a WARNING like this one: WARNING: CPU: 85 PID: 25093 at fs/inode.c:407 drop_nlink+0x50/0x68 Modules linked in: CPU: 85 UID: 3221252029 PID: 25093 Comm: php-cgi8.1 Not tainted 6.14.11-cm4all1-ampere #655 Hardware name: Supermicro ARS-110M-NR/R12SPD-A, BIOS 1.1b 10/17/2023 pstate: 60400009 (nZCv daif +PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) pc : drop_nlink+0x50/0x68 lr : ceph_unlink+0x6c4/0x720 sp : ffff80012173bc90 x29: ffff80012173bc90 x28: ffff086d0a45aaf8 x27: ffff0871d0eb5680 x26: ffff087f2a64a718 x25: 0000020000000180 x24: 0000000061c88647 x23: 0000000000000002 x22: ffff07ff9236d800 x21: 0000000000001203 x20: ffff07ff9237b000 x19: ffff088b8296afc0 x18: 00000000f3c93365 x17: 0000000000070000 x16: ffff08faffcbdfe8 x15: ffff08faffcbdfec x14: 0000000000000000 x13: 45445f65645f3037 x12: 34385f6369706f74 x11: 0000a2653104bb20 x10: ffffd85f26d73290 x9 : ffffd85f25664f94 x8 : 00000000000000c0 x7 : 0000000000000000 x6 : 0000000000000002 x5 : 0000000000000081 x4 : 0000000000000481 x3 : 0000000000000000 x2 : 0000000000000000 x1 : 0000000000000000 x0 : ffff08727d3f91e8 Call trace: drop_nlink+0x50/0x68 (P) vfs_unlink+0xb0/0x2e8 do_unlinkat+0x204/0x288 __arm64_sys_unlinkat+0x3c/0x80 invoke_syscall.constprop.0+0x54/0xe8 do_el0_svc+0xa4/0xc8 el0_svc+0x18/0x58 el0t_64_sync_handler+0x104/0x130 el0t_64_sync+0x154/0x158 In ceph_unlink(), a call to ceph_mdsc_submit_request() submits the CEPH_MDS_OP_UNLINK to the MDS, but does not wait for completion. Meanwhile, between this call and the following drop_nlink() call, a worker thread may process a CEPH_CAP_OP_IMPORT, CEPH_CAP_OP_GRANT or just a CEPH_MSG_CLIENT_REPLY (the latter of which could be our own completion). These will lead to a set_nlink() call, updating the `i_nlink` counter to the value received from the MDS. If that new `i_nlink` value happens to be zero, it is illegal to decrement it further. But that is exactly what ceph_unlink() will do then. The WARNING can be reproduced this way: 1. Force async unlink; only the async code path is affected. Having no real clue about Ceph internals, I was unable to find out why the MDS wouldn't give me the "Fxr" capabilities, so I patched get_caps_for_async_unlink() to always succeed. (Note that the WARNING dump above was found on an unpatched kernel, without this kludge - this is not a theoretical bug.) 2. Add a sleep call after ceph_mdsc_submit_request() so the unlink completion gets handled by a worker thread before drop_nlink() is called. This guarantees that the `i_nlink` is already zero before drop_nlink() runs. The solution is to skip the counter decrement when it is already zero, but doing so without a lock is still racy (TOCTOU). Since ceph_fill_inode() and handle_cap_grant() both hold the `ceph_inode_info.i_ceph_lock` spinlock while set_nlink() runs, this seems like the proper lock to protect the `i_nlink` updates. I found prior art in NFS and SMB (using `inode.i_lock`) and AFS (using `afs_vnode.cb_lock`). All three have the zero check as well.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ceph: fix memory leaks in ceph_mdsc_build_path() Add __putname() calls to error code paths that did not free the "path" pointer obtained by __getname(). If ownership of this pointer is not passed to the caller via path_info.path, the function must free it before returning.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sched/mmcid: Prevent CID stalls due to concurrent forks A newly forked task is accounted as MMCID user before the task is visible in the process' thread list and the global task list. This creates the following problem: CPU1 CPU2 fork() sched_mm_cid_fork(tnew1) tnew1->mm.mm_cid_users++; tnew1->mm_cid.cid = getcid() -> preemption fork() sched_mm_cid_fork(tnew2) tnew2->mm.mm_cid_users++; // Reaches the per CPU threshold mm_cid_fixup_tasks_to_cpus() for_each_other(current, p) .... As tnew1 is not visible yet, this fails to fix up the already allocated CID of tnew1. As a consequence a subsequent schedule in might fail to acquire a (transitional) CID and the machine stalls. Move the invocation of sched_mm_cid_fork() after the new task becomes visible in the thread and the task list to prevent this. This also makes it symmetrical vs. exit() where the task is removed as CID user before the task is removed from the thread and task lists.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sched/mmcid: Handle vfork()/CLONE_VM correctly Matthieu and Jiri reported stalls where a task endlessly loops in mm_get_cid() when scheduling in. It turned out that the logic which handles vfork()'ed tasks is broken. It is invoked when the number of tasks associated to a process is smaller than the number of MMCID users. It then walks the task list to find the vfork()'ed task, but accounts all the already processed tasks as well. If that double processing brings the number of to be handled tasks to 0, the walk stops and the vfork()'ed task's CID is not fixed up. As a consequence a subsequent schedule in fails to acquire a (transitional) CID and the machine stalls. Cure this by removing the accounting condition and make the fixup always walk the full task list if it could not find the exact number of users in the process' thread list.
Kernel panic triggered by a race condition in the UFS Host Controller Driver (ufshcd) during system suspend affects Linux systems using Universal Flash Storage hardware where UFSHCD_CAP_CLK_GATING is not supported. The flaw allows a local low-privileged user - or automated power management - to crash the kernel by triggering a suspend sequence while ufshcd_rtc_work() is concurrently executing, producing an ARM64 asynchronous SError interrupt that halts the system. No public exploit code exists and no active exploitation has been identified; with an EPSS of 0.02% this is a low-probability but confirmed-availability-destroying defect patched across multiple stable kernel branches.
Double-free vulnerability in Linux kernel's qla2xxx SCSI driver allows remote code execution or denial of service through malformed Fibre Channel ELS commands. The qla24xx_els_dcmd_iocb() function incorrectly frees fcport structures twice during error handling - once via kref_put() calling qla2x00_els_dcmd_sp_free(), then again explicitly afterward. Despite the CVSS:3.1/AV:N score of 9.8, the network vector appears to reflect the driver's network-facing nature (Fibre Channel over IP or similar) rather than internet-accessible exploitation. EPSS score of 0.02% (5th percentile) indicates extremely low observed exploitation probability. Patches available across multiple stable kernel branches (6.9+, 6.19.9+, 7.0+) per upstream commits.
Divide-by-zero in the Linux kernel's TIPC (Transparent Inter-Process Communication) subsystem allows a local low-privileged user to trigger a kernel oops/panic via a crafted setsockopt call. An attacker with local access sets conn_timeout to a value in the range [0, 3] on a TIPC socket, then initiates a connection that receives TIPC_ERR_OVERLOAD, causing integer division by zero in tipc_sk_filter_connect() and crashing the kernel. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and EPSS is 0.02%, but the low-complexity, low-privilege local trigger makes this a practical local denial-of-service in shared or container environments.
Integer overflow in Linux kernel's libceph authentication handler enables remote memory corruption and potential system crash against unpatched systems. A malicious Ceph monitor can send a specially crafted CEPH_MSG_AUTH_REPLY message with payload_len exceeding INT_MAX, causing ceph_handle_auth_reply() to underflow a pointer and trigger out-of-bounds memory access. This allows remote unauthenticated attackers to potentially read sensitive kernel memory (high confidentiality impact) or crash the kernel (high availability impact) on systems using Ceph storage. CVSS 9.1 (Critical) reflects network attack vector with no authentication or user interaction required. EPSS score of 0.02% (7th percentile) suggests low observed exploitation likelihood. Vendor patches available for all affected kernel series (5.10.253, 5.15.203, 6.1.167, 6.6.130, 6.12.78, 6.18.19, 6.19.9, 7.0), but no active exploitation confirmed via CISA KEV.
Out-of-bounds memory reads in Linux kernel's libceph messaging layer allow remote unauthenticated attackers to disclose kernel memory or trigger denial-of-service via malformed Ceph protocol frames. The vulnerability exists in process_message_header() when message frames are corrupted to make the control segment length smaller than the message header size, bypassing length validation. Vendor patches available for stable kernel versions 5.15.203, 6.1.167, 6.6.130, 6.12.78, 6.18.19, 6.19.9, and mainline 7.0. EPSS score of 0.02% and no KEV listing suggest limited real-world exploitation observed despite network-accessible attack vector and unauthenticated access. Critical CVSS score of 9.1 reflects worst-case impact (high confidentiality and availability risk) if Ceph storage networking is exposed.
Integer signedness vulnerability in Linux kernel's Ceph networking library (libceph) allows remote attackers to trigger denial of service via crafted monitor map messages. The flaw enables bypassing memory allocation limits by exploiting signed/unsigned integer confusion in ceph_monmap_decode(), causing excessive memory allocation attempts that crash the system. With CVSS 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) and 0.02% EPSS score, this represents a network-reachable DoS vector against systems using Ceph storage, though low exploitation probability suggests limited attacker interest. Patches available across all maintained kernel branches (5.15.203, 6.1.167, 6.6.130, 6.12.78, 6.18.19, 6.19.9, 7.0).
Livelock and CPU starvation in the Linux kernel memory management subsystem allows a local authenticated user to hang the system by triggering an unbounded spin loop in hmm_range_fault(). The root cause is in do_swap_page(), where failure to acquire folio_trylock() on a device-private folio causes the kernel to spin indefinitely while a competing process holding the lock is blocked waiting for work items on the same CPU - work items that are starved by the spinner. This vulnerability requires a highly specific combination of HMM device-private memory migration conditions and is confirmed reproduced by the Intel GPU test suite. No public exploit exists and no active exploitation is identified at time of analysis.
Namespace iteration ioctl permission bypass in Linux kernel allows local privileged users to enumerate namespaces of other privileged services, potentially leaking cross-service information. Affects kernel 6.12 through 6.19.x with patches available in 6.12.78, 6.18.20, 6.19.9, and mainline 7.0. The vulnerability has low EPSS (0.02%, 5th percentile) indicating minimal observed exploitation activity. Vendor patches deployed across stable kernel branches address the issue by enforcing stricter namespace visibility policies via the may_see_all_namespaces() helper.
Out-of-memory exploitation in the Linux kernel's amdgpu DRM subsystem allows a local, low-privileged user to crash the system by supplying unchecked huge values to the amdgpu_userq_signal_ioctl interface. The missing upper-bound validation on user inputs enables resource exhaustion that can destabilize or deny service on any Linux system equipped with a supported AMD GPU. No public exploit code exists and no active exploitation has been confirmed (no CISA KEV listing), with an EPSS of 0.02% placing this firmly in the low-priority tier for most environments outside high-assurance or shared multi-user GPU workloads.
Reference leak in the Linux kernel's amdgpu userqueue subsystem allows a local low-privileged user to exhaust kernel resources by repeatedly triggering an early-abort code path in amdgpu_userq_wait_ioctl. When the ioctl aborts because the caller-supplied output array is too small, the kernel omits required reference drops on syncobj and timeline fence objects, preventing those objects from ever being freed. No active exploitation is confirmed (not in CISA KEV), and EPSS sits at 0.02% (4th percentile), signaling negligible real-world exploitation activity.
Out-of-memory exploitation in the Linux kernel's amdgpu DRM driver allows a local low-privileged user to crash or destabilize a system by supplying oversized input values to the amdgpu_userq_wait_ioctl interface. Systems running affected kernel versions with AMD GPU hardware are vulnerable to availability loss. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and an EPSS score of 0.02% (4th percentile) reflects very low real-world exploitation probability; this is not confirmed actively exploited (not in CISA KEV).
Memory leak in the Linux kernel's samsung-dsim DRM bridge driver allows a local low-privileged user to exhaust kernel memory by repeatedly triggering error paths in samsung_dsim_host_attach() where drm_bridge_remove() is never called after a failed samsung_dsim_register_te_irq() or host attach operation. Affected systems must be running Samsung MIPI DSI display hardware with the samsung-dsim module loaded. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and the EPSS score of 0.02% (5th percentile) combined with absence from CISA KEV confirms this is a low-exploitation-likelihood maintenance fix rather than an active threat.
Memory leak in the Linux kernel's drm/xe (Intel Xe GPU) sync subsystem allows a local low-privileged user to cause a denial of service by exhausting kernel memory. The flaw exists in the drm/xe/sync error-handling path: when dma_fence_chain_alloc() fails, the user fence reference is not properly released (CWE-401), leaving allocated memory permanently inaccessible to the allocator. No active exploitation has been identified (EPSS 0.02%, 4th percentile, not in CISA KEV), and patches have been backported to stable kernel branches including 6.18.20 and 6.19.9.
Incomplete cleanup in the Linux kernel's DRM/Xe GPU driver allows a local low-privileged user to leak kernel object references (syncobj, fence, chain fence, or user fence) by triggering error paths in xe_sync_entry_parse(), resulting in kernel memory exhaustion and local denial of service. Affected kernels include those shipping the Intel Xe GPU driver from the introducing commit (dd08ebf6c352) up to the fix commits landed in stable series 6.12, 6.18, 6.19, and 7.0. No public exploit code exists and no active exploitation has been reported; EPSS probability sits at 0.02% (5th percentile), reflecting extremely low real-world exploitation interest.
Credential reference leak in the Linux kernel's NFS server daemon (nfsd) subsystem allows a local low-privileged user to cause a denial of service through kernel memory exhaustion. The vulnerable function nfsd_nl_listener_set_doit() calls get_current_cred() without a matching put_cred(), leaking one credential reference on each invocation. No active exploitation has been identified (EPSS 0.02%, 5th percentile; not listed in CISA KEV), and patches are available across multiple stable kernel branches.
Memory leak in the Linux kernel btrfs filesystem driver allows a local low-privileged user to cause kernel memory exhaustion leading to denial of service. The defect resides in btrfs_map_block(), which fails to release a chunk map object when btrfs_chunk_map_num_copies() triggers an early return with -EINVAL, leaving the allocation dangling. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and EPSS sits at the 5th percentile (0.02%), reflecting a low practical exploitation probability consistent with the local-only attack vector.
Insufficient permission checks in Linux kernel nsfs (namespace filesystem) allow low-privileged local users to access other processes' namespaces, potentially escalating privileges across namespace boundaries and leaking sensitive information between isolated services. The vulnerability affects kernel versions before 6.19.9 and 7.0, with patches available in stable branches d2324a9317f0 and 1797ee11451f. EPSS score of 0.02% (5th percentile) indicates low current exploitation probability, and no active exploitation or public POC has been identified in CISA KEV or public sources. The CVSS 8.8 (High) rating reflects scope change (S:C) indicating privilege escalation across security boundaries - a critical concern for containerized environments where namespace isolation is foundational to multi-tenant security.
Insufficient permission enforcement in the Linux kernel's nstree subsystem allows a local privileged service to enumerate namespace trees belonging to other co-located privileged services, breaking the isolation model that Linux namespaces are designed to enforce. Affected systems include those running Linux kernel versions prior to the fix commits in the 6.19.x stable series and the 7.0 upstream branch, with downstream impact confirmed by Red Hat and SUSE. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is 0.02% (5th percentile), making this a low-urgency but architecturally significant issue for multi-tenant and containerized deployments.
The memfd_luo (memory file descriptor Live Update Operations) subsystem in the Linux kernel silently discards user data by incorrectly tracking folio dirty state across live kernel updates. Folios that are clean at preserve() time but subsequently written to are serialized as clean, causing the successor kernel to treat them as reclaimable under memory pressure - permanently destroying user data stored in those memory regions. This affects systems using the memfd LUO live kernel update feature, with fixes confirmed in Linux 6.19.9 and 7.0. No public exploit exists and EPSS is 0.02%, reflecting the niche deployment conditions required.
Use-after-free condition in the Linux kernel's DAMON (Data Access MONitor) subsystem affects systems running kernel version 6.14 and related stable branches prior to the patched commits. A local low-privileged user can trigger a dangling pointer to a stack-allocated walk_control structure when damos_walk() is invoked against an inactive DAMON context, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis and an EPSS probability of just 0.02%.
Out-of-bounds read in the Linux kernel's rtl8723bs staging Wi-Fi driver allows a local authenticated attacker to read memory beyond the WMM IE buffer and potentially crash the kernel. The flaw resides in rtw_restruct_wmm_ie(), which accesses in_ie[i+5] before validating that the index is within in_len. EPSS is 0.02% (7th percentile) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but a vendor-released patch is available across multiple stable branches.
RCU tasks grace period stalls cause denial of service in Linux kernel's threaded NAPI busypoll implementation (6.19+). When threaded busypoll is enabled on network interfaces, the napi_threaded_poll_loop function resets its quiescent state tracking (last_qs) on every invocation, preventing rcu_softirq_qs_periodic from reporting grace period completion. This triggers kernel stalls lasting hundreds of seconds (400,000+ jiffies observed), causing tools like bpftrace to hang indefinitely and impacting system stability. Vendor patches available for 6.19.9 and 7.0. EPSS score of 0.02% suggests very low active exploitation likelihood, consistent with this being a kernel-internal RCU mechanism issue affecting specific network polling configurations rather than a remotely triggerable network attack surface.
Timing attacks can compromise TCP Authentication Option (TCP-AO) message authentication codes in Linux kernel 6.7+ due to non-constant-time MAC comparison. Remote unauthenticated attackers on the network path can exploit timing differences during MAC validation to extract authentication secrets, defeating TCP-AO's connection authentication mechanism. Exploitation probability is low (EPSS 0.02%, 5th percentile) with no confirmed active exploitation, but vendor patches are available for affected stable branches including 6.12.78, 6.18.19, 6.19.9, and mainline 7.0.
Timing attacks against TCP MD5 authentication in Linux kernel allow remote attackers to forge connection signatures through MAC comparison oracle. The vulnerability exists because MAC (Message Authentication Code) comparisons in the TCP-MD5 implementation are not constant-time, enabling attackers to extract authentication secrets through timing side-channels. All Linux kernel versions from 2.6.20 through 6.19.9 are affected. Patches are available across all actively maintained stable branches (5.10, 6.1, 6.6, 6.12, 6.18, 6.19, 7.0). EPSS score of 0.02% suggests low automated exploitation probability, though the network-accessible attack vector and authentication bypass capability represent significant risk for systems using TCP MD5 signatures (RFC 2385).
Deadlock in the Linux kernel's batman-adv ELP metric worker allows a local low-privileged user to trigger a kernel hang and cause a denial of service. The flaw exists in batadv_v_elp_get_throughput() where a previous fix using rtnl_trylock() for the ethtool path failed to cover the cfg80211 interface path, which still called batadv_get_real_netdev() - itself internally invoking rtnl_lock(). When batadv_v_elp_iface_disable() cancels the work queue via cancel_delayed_work_sync() while the RTNL lock is already held, this double-lock acquisition produces a deadlock. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS of 0.02% confirms very low real-world exploitation probability.
Stack buffer overflow in the Linux kernel's pmbus/q54sj108a2 hwmon driver allows local privileged users to corrupt kernel stack memory by reading from a specific debugfs entry. The flaw stems from a misuse of bin2hex() that writes 64 bytes of hex-encoded output into a 34-byte stack buffer, overflowing it by 30 bytes; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS exploitation probability is negligible at 0.03% (9th percentile).
Use-after-free in Linux kernel ksmbd allows remote unauthenticated attackers to potentially execute arbitrary code, disclose sensitive information, or cause denial of service. The vulnerability stems from improper RCU lock handling in smb_lazy_parent_lease_break_close() where opinfo pointer is dereferenced after RCU read unlock, creating a race condition. Patches available across multiple kernel versions (6.6.130, 6.12.78, 6.18.19, 6.19.9, 7.0). Despite critical CVSS 9.8 score, EPSS exploitation probability is low (0.02%, 5th percentile) and no active exploitation or public POC identified at time of analysis.
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel's ksmbd SMB server (smb2_open()) allows remote attackers to potentially trigger memory corruption when accessing an opinfo pointer dereferenced after rcu_read_unlock(). The flaw is fixed in upstream stable releases (6.1.167, 6.6.130, 6.12.78, 6.18.19, 6.19.9, and 7.0); no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS exploitation probability is very low at 0.02%.
Linux kernel's ksmbd server exposes SMB3 session, signing, encryption, and decryption keys in debug logs when KSMBD_DEBUG_AUTH is enabled. Authenticated network attackers with access to system logs can retrieve these cryptographic keys to compromise SMB3 session confidentiality and integrity. EPSS probability is very low (0.01%, 3rd percentile) and no active exploitation is documented. Vendor patches available across multiple stable kernel branches (6.1.167, 6.6.130, 6.12.78, 6.18.20, 6.19.9, 7.0).
Use-after-free in Linux kernel ksmbd allows remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code, escalate privileges, or cause denial of service by racing oplock_info access during concurrent RCU read operations. The vulnerability stems from immediate kfree() without RCU grace period, enabling opinfo_get() to call atomic_inc_not_zero() on freed memory. CVSS 9.8 reflects network exploitability without authentication, though EPSS score of 0.02% (5th percentile) suggests minimal observed exploitation attempts. Vendor patches available across multiple kernel versions (6.6.130, 6.12.78, 6.18.19, 6.19.9, 7.0) with fixes referenced in five upstream commits. Not listed in CISA KEV; no public exploit code identified at time of analysis.
Linux kernel MCTP driver leaks USB device references when probe fails, allowing local authenticated attackers to trigger denial of service through resource exhaustion. The flaw affects kernels from 6.15 through 6.19.9 and has been patched in versions 6.18.19, 6.19.9, and 7.0. EPSS score of 0.02% indicates minimal active exploitation risk, and no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.
Use-after-free in Linux kernel nexthop routing code allows local authenticated attackers with low privileges to execute arbitrary code, escalate privileges, or crash the system. The vulnerability occurs when removing a nexthop from a routing group, where percpu statistics memory is freed before the RCU grace period completes, allowing concurrent readers to access freed memory. Vendor patches available for stable kernel branches 6.12.78, 6.18.19, 6.19.9, and mainline 7.0. EPSS score of 0.02% (5th percentile) indicates low observed exploitation probability, and no active exploitation is confirmed (not in CISA KEV). CVSS 7.8 reflects local attack vector requiring authenticated access.
Memory exhaustion in Linux kernel NCSI protocol handler allows remote denial of service through resource depletion. The Network Controller Sideband Interface (NCSI) receive and Asynchronous Event Notification (AEN) handlers fail to free socket buffers (skbs) in error paths, enabling network attackers to exhaust kernel memory by sending malformed NCSI packets or triggering device resolution failures. CVSS 7.5 (High severity) reflects unauthenticated network exploitation, though low EPSS score (0.02%, 7th percentile) suggests minimal observed exploitation. Vendor patches available across all active kernel branches (5.10.253, 5.15.203, 6.1.167, 6.6.130, 6.12.78, 6.18.19, 6.19.9, 7.0).
Resource leak in Linux kernel's Microchip DSA PTP driver allows local authenticated users with low privileges to cause denial of service through high availability impact. The ksz_ptp_irq_setup() function fails to dispose of newly created IRQ mappings when request_threaded_irq() fails during PTP message IRQ setup, leading to resource exhaustion. Vendor patches available across multiple stable kernel branches (6.6.130, 6.12.78, 6.18.19, 6.19.9, 7.0). EPSS score of 0.02% (5th percentile) indicates very low probability of exploitation in the wild, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Memory leak and denial-of-service in the Linux kernel macb network driver (used in AMD ZynqMP platforms) allows local authenticated users to cause prolonged network disruption and system resource exhaustion. The flaw manifests during suspend/resume cycles when the transmit ring pointer resets incorrectly, silently dropping queued packets without releasing their memory, and causing the driver to become stuck waiting for already-transmitted packets. Real-world impact observed in NFS rootfs recovery delays. EPSS score of 0.02% (7th percentile) indicates low exploitation likelihood. Vendor patches available across multiple stable kernel branches (6.1.167, 6.6.130, 6.12.78, 6.18.20, 6.19.9).
Use-after-free race condition in Linux kernel amdgpu driver allows local authenticated users to achieve arbitrary code execution with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. The flaw occurs when parent and child processes sharing a drm_file both attempt to acquire the same virtual memory context after fork(), due to non-atomic vm->process_info assignment. Patches released across multiple stable kernel versions (5.10.253, 5.15.203, 6.1.167, 6.6.130, 6.12.78, 6.18.19, 6.19.9, 7.0). EPSS score of 0.02% (7th percentile) indicates very low predicted exploitation probability despite CVSS 7.8 severity, and no active exploitation or public POC identified.
Local privilege escalation in Linux kernel io_uring subsystem allows authenticated attackers with low privileges to achieve high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact through improper buffer list type validation during recycling operations. The vulnerability stems from a race condition where buffer lists can be upgraded from legacy to ring-provided type between acquisition and recycling when requests are forced through io-wq, potentially leading to type confusion and memory corruption. Patches available across multiple kernel versions (6.1.167, 6.6.130, 6.12.78, 6.18.19, 6.19.9, 7.0) with upstream commits confirmed. EPSS score is very low (0.02%, 7th percentile) indicating minimal observed exploitation probability despite high CVSS 7.8 rating. No KEV listing or public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Log corruption in Linux kernel XFS filesystem leads to mount failures and potential data integrity loss when superblock lacks log stripe unit configuration. Systems with 4k physical sector disks are vulnerable to torn writes and CRC failures that prevent filesystem mounting. Vendor-released patches available across multiple stable kernel branches (5.15.203, 6.1.167, 6.6.130, 6.12.78, 6.18.19, 6.19.9, 7.0). EPSS score of 0.02% suggests low exploitation probability. No active exploitation confirmed (not in CISA KEV). CVSS 8.2 reflects network vector but description indicates local filesystem operation - attack vector discrepancy requires verification.
System hangs on Linux kernel resume from s2ram when firmware re-enables x2apic mode that kernel disabled during boot. Affects x86 systems with APIC hardware where kernel disabled x2apic (due to missing IRQ remapping support or other reasons) but ACPI-compliant firmware restores x2apic to initial boot state per spec. Kernel continues using xapic interface while hardware operates in x2apic mode, causing denial of service through system freezes. CVSS 5.5 (local low-complexity authenticated attack, high availability impact). EPSS 0.02% (7th percentile) indicates low observed exploitation probability. Vendor patches available across multiple stable kernel branches (5.10.253, 5.15.203, 6.1.167, 6.6.130, 6.12.78, 6.18.19, 6.19.9, 7.0 mainline). No KEV listing or public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Btrfs filesystem transaction abort in the Linux kernel allows a local low-privileged user to force any btrfs-mounted volume into read-only mode by deliberately creating files whose names produce identical crc32c hash values. When enough hash-colliding filenames are created in a single directory, the dir item leaf node fills beyond its size limit, triggering a kernel transaction abort that renders the entire btrfs volume inaccessible for all users. A detailed reproducer script including a curated list of crc32c-colliding filenames is embedded directly in the CVE description, making exploitation trivially repeatable; however, the EPSS score of 0.02% (7th percentile) and absence from CISA KEV indicate no confirmed widespread exploitation at time of analysis.
RCU locking imbalance in Linux kernel btrfs filesystem code causes local denial of service. The try_release_subpage_extent_buffer() function in btrfs can exit an error path without properly releasing an RCU read lock, creating a locking inconsistency that leads to system instability. Affects Linux kernel versions 6.17 through pre-7.0, with patches available in stable branches 6.18.19, 6.19.9, and mainline 7.0. EPSS score of 0.02% (4th percentile) indicates minimal observed exploitation activity. The flaw was detected through static analysis using Clang's thread-safety analyzer rather than field exploitation, suggesting lower immediate real-world risk despite the high-availability CVSS impact rating.
Local denial of service in Linux kernel's MPU3050 gyroscope driver allows authenticated users with low privileges to crash the system by triggering power management failures. The mpu3050-core driver fails to validate pm_runtime_get_sync() return values, enabling hardware access when device resume fails and causing improper reference counting that leads to kernel instability. EPSS score of 0.02% indicates minimal active exploitation likelihood, and patches are available across multiple stable kernel versions (5.10.253, 5.15.203, 6.1.167, 6.6.130, 6.12.78, 6.18.19, 6.19.9, 7.0).
Local attackers with low-level privileges can trigger a denial of service in Linux kernel versions 4.7 through 7.0 by exploiting a power management reference leak in the bh1780 ambient light sensor driver. The vulnerability causes system resource exhaustion through improper PM runtime reference counting in the IIO subsystem's error handling path. Vendor patches are available across multiple stable kernel branches (5.10.253, 6.1.167, 6.6.130, 6.18.19, 6.19.9, 7.0), with EPSS probability of 0.02% indicating low observed exploitation likelihood and no active exploitation confirmed.
Local denial of service in the Linux kernel's HX9023S proximity sensor driver (iio subsystem) allows authenticated users with low privileges to crash the system via division by zero when setting sampling frequency with an unspecified value. Patch available from kernel.org stable trees for versions 6.12.78, 6.18.19, 6.19.9, and mainline 7.0. EPSS score of 0.02% (5th percentile) indicates minimal observed exploitation activity. No public exploit code or active exploitation (not in CISA KEV) confirmed at time of analysis.
Race condition in Linux kernel I3C HCI DMA dequeue handler allows local authenticated attackers with low privileges to trigger memory corruption leading to privilege escalation, denial of service, or information disclosure. The vulnerability affects kernel versions from 5.11 onwards where the mipi-i3c-hci driver is enabled. EPSS probability is low (0.02%, 4th percentile) and no active exploitation or public POC is identified at time of analysis. Vendor patches available for stable kernel branches 6.18.19, 6.19.9, and 7.0.
Flawed DMA ring abort handling in the Linux kernel's MIPI I3C Host Controller Interface driver allows local authenticated attackers with low privileges to cause high-severity impacts including information disclosure, integrity violations, and denial of service. The vulnerability stems from improper abort sequence logic that disrupts controller state by unintentionally clearing hardware enable bits and resetting ring pointers. Vendor patches are available for kernel versions 6.18.19, 6.19.9, and 7.0. EPSS score of 0.02% (4th percentile) indicates low probability of mass exploitation, and no active exploitation or public POC has been identified at time of analysis.
Denial of service in Linux kernel KVM/arm64 vGIC subsystem allows local authenticated users with low privileges to crash the hypervisor via use-after-free during virtual interrupt controller teardown. CVSS rates this 5.5 (medium severity, local vector), but EPSS exploitation probability is very low at 0.02% (4th percentile). Patches available across multiple stable kernel versions (6.18.19, 6.19.9, 7.0). No active exploitation confirmed per CISA KEV, and the local-only attack vector with specific KVM/ARM64 deployment requirements limits real-world impact to environments running ARM64 virtualization workloads.
Remote attackers can invoke arbitrary application callables in PraisonAI multi-agent systems by manipulating tool-call names to bypass tool declaration controls. Vulnerable versions (praisonai <4.6.37, praisonaiagents <1.6.37) resolve unmatched tool names against module globals and __main__ namespaces without permission validation when _perm_allow is None (default configuration). This enables unauthorized function execution beyond the intended tool list, allowing integrity compromise and potential information disclosure. Patched versions 4.6.37 and 1.6.37 address the tool name resolution vulnerability.
Out-of-bounds read in Linux kernel SMB client allows malicious SMB servers to disclose kernel memory and potentially crash systems via crafted NFS mode SIDs in ACL responses. Affects Linux kernel 5.4+ with SMB client enabled. Vendor patches released for stable branches 6.6.136, 6.12.84, 6.18.25, 7.0.2, and mainline 7.1-rc1. EPSS score of 0.02% (5th percentile) indicates low observed exploitation probability, and no active exploitation confirmed (not in CISA KEV). Attack requires user interaction (mounting malicious SMB share), reducing practical risk for environments with controlled server connections.
Use of uninitialized memory in Linux kernel f2fs filesystem node footer validation causes local denial of service. Linux kernel versions 7.0 through 7.1-rc1 with f2fs support allow local authenticated users to trigger a kernel crash by mounting a maliciously crafted f2fs filesystem image. The vulnerability occurs when f2fs_sanity_check_node_footer() accesses uninitialized folio data after a failed disk read operation during filesystem mount, as reported by syzbot. EPSS score of 0.02% (4th percentile) indicates minimal real-world exploitation likelihood. Vendor patches available for stable kernel branches 6.18.25, 7.0.2, and 7.1-rc1.
The Linux kernel mshv_vtl driver permits local denial-of-service via memory registration failure when VTL0 memory ranges are sufficiently aligned (35+ trailing zeros in physical address). An unclamped vmemmap_shift calculation can exceed MAX_FOLIO_ORDER, causing memremap_pages() to reject the operation and potentially destabilize virtualization infrastructure. CVSS 5.5 indicates local authenticated exploitation with low complexity. EPSS 0.02% suggests minimal real-world targeting. Vendor patches available for kernel 7.0.2 and 7.1-rc1 address both the shift clamping and error propagation issues.
Local denial of service in Linux kernel PTP (Precision Time Protocol) driver for Intel Ethernet (ice) allows authenticated users with low privileges to crash the system when PF passthrough is configured without the controlling PF. The vulnerability is caused by improper null pointer handling (CWE-617) when ice_ptp_setup_pf() attempts to access an uninitialized PTP controlling PF in VFIO passthrough configurations. Affects Linux kernel 6.13 through 7.0-rc7. EPSS probability is very low (0.02%, 4th percentile) and no active exploitation has been reported. Patches are available in stable branches 6.18.24, 6.19.14, and mainline 7.0.
Linux Kernel versions 6.4 and later containing IPA v5.0+ hardware support experience complete data path failure and indefinite system hangs during suspend or shutdown operations due to a register field misprogramming bug. The event ring index field was incorrectly referenced using an outdated identifier (ERINDEX instead of CH_ERINDEX) in the CH_C_CNTXT_1 register definition, preventing GSI channels from signaling transfer completions. This causes gsi_channel_trans_quiesce() to block indefinitely in wait_for_completion(), resulting in runtime suspend, system suspend, and remoteproc stop operations hanging forever. Patches are available across multiple stable kernel branches (6.6.136, 6.12.83, 6.18.24, 6.19.14, 7.0). EPSS score of 0.02% indicates very low observed exploitation probability, and no active exploitation is confirmed (not in CISA KEV). The CVSS vector indicates network-accessible attack surface, though the actual impact is limited to devices with IPA v5.0+ hardware.
Die ID initialization and lookup bugs in the Linux kernel's Intel uncore performance monitoring subsystem (perf/x86/intel/uncore) can cause a reachable assertion trigger or silent loss of PMON unit visibility on Intel Sapphire Rapids (SPR) and Emerald Rapids (EMR) server hardware. Authenticated local users on affected systems may crash the kernel via the WARN_ON_ONCE reachable assertion (CWE-617) or, when NUMA is disabled on a NUMA-capable platform, cause all uncore PMON units to be silently dropped from the RB tree - rendering hardware performance monitoring inoperative. No public exploit exists and EPSS is 0.02%, indicating no active exploitation pressure at time of analysis.
Unbalanced reference counting in the Linux kernel USB gadget CDC Subset Ethernet driver (f_subset) causes a resource leak that denies availability of USB gadget reconfiguration. A local authenticated user can trigger the condition by allocating and freeing the geth USB gadget function, leaving the reference count permanently elevated due to a missing decrement in geth_free(). The practical impact is a denial-of-service against the configfs interface for USB gadget management - subsequent attempts to unlink and re-configure the USB function fail silently. No public exploit is identified and EPSS exploitation probability is negligible at 0.02% (7th percentile).
Race condition in the Linux kernel's USB RNDIS gadget function driver (f_rndis) allows a local low-privileged attacker to crash the kernel by concurrently manipulating class/subclass/protocol configfs attributes without mutex protection. Identified during code inspection - not observed in active exploitation - this vulnerability affects multiple stable kernel branches from 4.14 through 7.0-rc3, with patches released across all maintained stable series. With an EPSS of 0.02% (7th percentile), no public exploit, and no CISA KEV listing, real-world risk is low but meaningful on embedded or IoT devices using Linux as a USB RNDIS peripheral.
Local denial of service in Linux kernel COMEDI subsystem allows authenticated users to trigger inconsistent lock states when reattaching low-level drivers to legacy COMEDI devices. Exploitation probability is low (EPSS 2%, percentile 7%) with no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Vendor-released patches available across all stable kernel branches from 5.10.253 through 7.0. Affects systems configured with non-zero comedi_num_legacy_minors parameter and requires local authenticated access to COMEDI device nodes.
Local privilege escalation in Linux kernel IPv6 address configuration subsystem enables authenticated local users to gain high-level system access through a use-after-free (UaF) condition in addrconf_permanent_addr(). Patch available across all maintained stable kernel series (5.10.253, 5.15.203, 6.1.168, 6.6.134, 6.12.81, 6.18.22, 6.19.12, 7.0) with fixes backported from commit f1705ec197e7. EPSS score of 0.02% suggests minimal active exploitation likelihood, no KEV listing or public POC identified at time of analysis.
Transaction abort and denial of service in Linux kernel btrfs qgroup ioctls occurs when quota group operations fail to reserve transaction space for metadata updates and delayed references, resulting in -ENOSPC errors under filesystem pressure. Affected versions include mainline kernel through 6.19.x and stable branches 6.12.x and 6.18.x, with patches available in 6.12.81, 6.18.22, 6.19.12, and 7.0. Local authenticated users can trigger filesystem unavailability through qgroup operations. EPSS exploitation probability is low (0.02%), no active exploitation confirmed, and this represents a stability issue rather than a direct security compromise, though availability impact is high per CVSS 5.5 score.
ChaCha cipher implementation in the Linux kernel leaks cryptographic key material through an improperly zeroized stack variable. The ChaCha permutation function leaves 'permuted_state' on the stack after execution, which can be used to reverse-compute the original encryption key since ChaCha's permutation is mathematically invertible. This information disclosure affects kernel cryptographic operations including the RNG (random number generator). EPSS score of 0.02% indicates very low observed exploitation probability, and no active exploitation is confirmed (not in CISA KEV). Patches are available across all maintained kernel versions from 5.10.253 through 6.19.12.
Authentication downgrade in Linux kernel Bluetooth SMP allows adjacent network attackers to bypass MITM protection during pairing. When a Bluetooth responder requires BT_SECURITY_HIGH, the SMP implementation incorrectly builds pairing responses before enforcing local MITM requirements, allowing initiators to force weaker 'Just Confirm' authentication even when policy mandates stronger methods. EPSS score of 0.02% indicates low predicted exploitation probability, and no active exploitation or public POC has been identified. Patches available across all supported kernel branches (5.10.253, 5.15.203, 6.1.168, 6.6.134, 6.12.81, 6.18.22, 6.19.12, 7.0).
Use-after-free in Linux kernel thermal subsystem allows local authenticated attackers with low privileges to achieve high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact through race condition during thermal zone device registration failure. The flaw occurs when thermal_zone_device_register_with_trips() fails after registration but before properly cleaning up - if userspace holds a kobject reference, the thermal zone structure can be freed prematurely while still in use. Vendor patches available across stable branches (6.6.134, 6.12.81, 6.18.22, 6.19.12, 7.0). EPSS score of 0.02% (5th percentile) indicates very low observed exploitation probability despite CVSS 7.8 rating, suggesting limited real-world attacker interest in this local race condition.
Double-free condition in the Linux kernel's cpufreq governor subsystem affects multiple stable branches and can lead to memory corruption when an error path in cpufreq_dbs_governor_init() is triggered. The flaw stems from redundant cleanup logic that calls gov->exit() and kfree(dbs_data) twice after a kobject_init_and_add() failure, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. EPSS exploitation probability is very low (0.02%, 7th percentile), consistent with a local memory-safety bug requiring privileged access rather than a remote attack surface.
A deadlock vulnerability in the Linux kernel's sched_ext (extensible scheduler) subsystem allows local authenticated users to trigger a denial of service by creating cyclic wait dependencies between CPUs. The flaw exists in the SCX_KICK_WAIT mechanism where busy-waiting in hardirq context prevents rescheduling and kick_sync advancement, causing multi-CPU deadlocks when wait cycles form. Patch available from mainline kernel (commit c3a7903f65cf for mainline, 415cb193bb97 for stable 6.12+). EPSS score of 0.02% suggests minimal real-world exploitation activity. No public exploit code or active exploitation confirmed at time of analysis.
Race condition in the Linux kernel's dummy-hcd USB driver allows local authenticated users to trigger use-after-free conditions during gadget driver unbinding, potentially enabling privilege escalation, information disclosure, or denial of service. The flaw stems from incorrect ordering of interrupt synchronization - emulated synchronize_irq() runs before interrupt-disable, allowing callbacks to execute after the gadget driver is unbound. Patched versions include 5.15.203, 6.1.168, 6.6.134, 6.12.81, 6.18.22, 6.19.12, and mainline 7.0. EPSS score of 0.02% (7th percentile) indicates very low probability of exploitation in the wild, with no confirmed active exploitation or public POC identified at time of analysis.
Use-after-free (UAF) in Linux kernel Bluetooth subsystem allows adjacent network attackers to trigger memory corruption via malformed LE Read Features Complete responses. The vulnerability occurs when hci_conn is freed before le_read_features_complete callback executes but after hci_le_read_remote_features_sync initiates, causing atomic operations on freed memory during hci_conn_drop. Active exploitation status not confirmed (no CISA KEV listing). EPSS score of 0.02% (5th percentile) indicates very low observed exploitation probability. Upstream patches committed to stable kernel branches 6.19.12+ and 7.0+.
Improper register liveness tracking in the Linux kernel eBPF verifier allows local authenticated users to potentially achieve information disclosure, privilege escalation, or denial of service through crafted BPF programs. The vulnerability stems from the compute_insn_live_regs() function failing to mark registers as used during indirect jump ('gotox rX') instructions, enabling attackers with BPF program loading privileges to manipulate register state tracking. With EPSS exploitation probability at 0.02% (5th percentile) and no evidence of active exploitation or public POC, this represents a theoretical risk primarily for systems where unprivileged users can load BPF programs. Vendor patches are available for kernel versions 6.18.16, 6.19.6, and 7.0.
A null pointer dereference in the AMD Display Core driver's DSC (Display Stream Compression) handling for eDP panels causes local system crashes on Linux kernel 6.12 through 7.0-rc5. The vulnerability stems from missing function hook validation before use, allowing local authenticated users with low privileges to trigger a high-severity denial-of-service condition. Patches available across kernel 6.12.75, 6.18.16, 6.19.6, and 7.0 stable branches. EPSS score of 0.02% (5th percentile) indicates minimal observed exploitation activity, and no KEV listing or public POC identified at time of analysis.
Local denial-of-service deadlock in Linux kernel spidev driver allows authenticated users with low privileges to freeze the SPI subsystem via concurrent write() and ioctl() calls. The AB-BA lock inversion between spi_lock and buf_lock is reproducible with simple multithreaded userspace programs accessing the same spidev file descriptor. Patch available across stable kernel branches (6.12.75, 6.18.16, 6.19.6, 7.0) with extremely low EPSS score (0.02%, 5th percentile) indicating minimal real-world exploitation likelihood. No active exploitation or public POC identified at time of analysis.
Race condition in Linux kernel AMDGPU driver allows local attackers with low privileges to trigger denial of service through GPU page faults during DMA buffer operations. The vulnerability affects multi-GPU systems where shared buffer objects are accessed across different GPUs, particularly impacting AMD Radeon graphics driver stability. Patch available from upstream kernel maintainers for versions 6.12.75, 6.18.16, 6.19.6, and 7.0. EPSS score of 0.02% indicates low observed exploitation probability, and no public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified.
Resource leak in Linux kernel MOST (Media Oriented Systems Transport) core driver allows local authenticated users to trigger denial of service through repeated interface registration failures. The vulnerability stems from incomplete error handling in the driver's registration path, where resources allocated for MOST interfaces are not properly released when early registration failures occur. While CVSS rates this 5.5 with local access and low attack complexity, the EPSS score of 0.02% (5th percentile) indicates minimal real-world exploitation likelihood. Vendor patches are available across multiple kernel stable branches (6.12.75, 6.18.16, 6.19.6, 7.0).
An out-of-bounds shift operation in the Linux kernel's solo6x10 media driver causes a local denial of service. Affects Linux kernel versions from the initial commit through 7.0-rc3, with patches available in stable versions 5.10.252, 5.15.202, 6.1.165, 6.6.128, 6.12.75, 6.18.16, 6.19.6, and 7.0. The flaw, triggered by improper chip_id bounds checking, causes Clang's undefined behavior sanitizer to instrument code that can lead to system instability when exploited by low-privileged local users. EPSS exploitation probability is 0.02% (7th percentile), indicating minimal widespread threat. Vendor-released patches address the issue by adding explicit bounds validation and using unsigned shift operations.
go-git versions prior to 5.18.0 and 6.0.0-alpha.2 leak HTTP authentication credentials when following cross-host redirects during smart-HTTP clone and fetch operations. Remote unauthenticated attackers controlling a redirect target can capture credentials intended for the original repository host. User interaction (initiating a clone/fetch to a malicious or compromised server) is required. Vendor-released patches are available in v5.18.0 and v6.0.0-alpha.2.
Dell PowerScale OneFS versions 9.5.0.0 through 9.12.0.1 contain an insufficient logging vulnerability that allows low-privileged local attackers to tamper with information without generating adequate audit trails, enabling attack obfuscation and compliance violation. The vulnerability affects multiple version branches across OneFS 9.5 through 9.12, with no public exploit code identified at time of analysis. CVSS score of 3.3 reflects low-to-medium integrity impact with local access requirement and low complexity.
Race condition in drm/panthor GPU driver violates dma-fence safe access rules, allowing local authenticated users to cause denial of service via timeline name retrieval racing with queue freeing. CVSS 5.5 (local, low complexity) with EPSS 0.02% indicating minimal real-world exploitation likelihood despite active kernel-level flaw.
Denial of service in Linux kernel DRM GEM shmem helper functions allows local privileged attackers to trigger CPU warnings and system instability via improper reservation lock handling around vmap/vunmap operations. The vulnerability affects Linux 6.16 and multiple stable branches (6.18, 6.19, 7.0) and is resolved in patched versions; exploitation requires local access with limited privileges and produces availability impact through kernel warnings rather than remote compromise.
SEPPmail Secure Email Gateway before version 15.0.4 exposes server environment variables through an unauthenticated endpoint in the GINA UI, allowing remote attackers to retrieve sensitive system information including configuration details, internal paths, and potentially credentials. The vulnerability requires only network access to the affected endpoint with no authentication, authentication complexity, or user interaction; it is classified as an information disclosure flaw with limited confidentiality impact (CVSS 6.9).
Local attackers with low privileges can cause indefinite system hangs in Linux kernel device-mapper (dm) subsystem by injecting io-timeout-fail errors, triggering CWE-772 resource leaks where I/O requests are never completed. Affects longstanding kernel code from 5.10.x through mainline 6.19.x; vendor-patched versions available (5.10.252, 5.15.202, 6.1.165, 6.6.128, 6.12.75, 6.18.16, 6.19.6, 7.0). EPSS score of 0.02% (7th percentile) indicates low real-world exploitation probability. No active exploitation confirmed (not in CISA KEV), no public POC identified at time of analysis.
A use-after-free in the OmniVision OV5647 camera sensor driver (media: i2c: ov5647) can trigger a kernel crash. The ov5647_init_controls() function dereferences an uninitialized subdev pointer via v4l2_get_subdevdata() when error conditions occur during probe. This affects Linux kernel versions from 5.12 through multiple stable branches including 5.15.x, 6.1.x, 6.6.x, 6.12.x, 6.18.x, and 6.19.x prior to patches. Vendor patches available across all affected stable trees. EPSS exploitation probability is very low (0.02%, 7th percentile) with no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Linux kernel's Tegra PMC driver can trigger kernel warnings and potential denial of service during system resume by calling generic_handle_irq() from non-interrupt context. Affects Tegra186 and later platforms running Linux kernel versions prior to 6.19.6 and 7.0. CVSS 5.5 indicates local low-complexity exploitation requiring authenticated access. EPSS score of 0.02% (5th percentile) suggests minimal observed exploitation activity. Vendor patches available via stable kernel tree commits.
Hardware-level denial of service in Linux kernel verisilicon media driver on i.MX8MQ platform allows local authenticated users to trigger VPU bus errors and system hangs through simultaneous H.264/HEVC decoding. Affects kernel versions 5.14 through pre-6.19.6 and pre-7.0. Patches available via stable kernel commits 286d629d1064 and e0203ddf9af7. EPSS score of 0.02% indicates minimal observed exploitation, and CVSS 5.5 reflects local scope with low complexity. No public exploit code identified, and not listed in CISA KEV.
System hang during RAID array teardown affects Linux kernel's dm-raid target when metadata devices are suspended before removal. The vulnerability triggers when stopping dm-raid managed arrays, causing md_stop() to indefinitely block while attempting to flush write-intent bitmaps to already-suspended metadata devices. With EPSS exploitation probability at 0.02% (4th percentile) and vendor patches available for kernel versions 6.18.16, 6.19.6, and 7.0, this represents a local denial-of-service risk requiring low privileges but poses minimal risk in most environments due to the specific dm-raid configuration prerequisite.
