Per kernel scoring guidance netfilter/nfnetlink netlink paths are Local.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls every precondition: it enables `NETLINK_EXT_ACK` on its own socket and sends a well-formed `BATCH_BEGIN|NLM_F_ACK` + `BATCH_END` batch, which deterministically reaches `nfnl_err_add()` with the uninitialized `extack` and delivers it. Stack contents at that frame offset can be groomed by preceding syscalls, so no condition lies outside the attacker\u0027s influence.\nPR:L - `nfnetlink_rcv()` requires `CAP_NET_ADMIN` only via `netlink_net_capable()`, which is evaluated against the netns owner\u0027s user namespace, so any unprivileged user obtains it with `unshare -Urn`. The nf_tables subsystem is module-autoloaded on demand from that namespace.\nUI:N - The attacker triggers the entire sequence from its own process with socket/sendmsg calls; no victim action or cooperation is involved.\nS:U - The uninitialized read and the resulting disclosure/crash occur entirely within the kernel\u0027s own security authority, with no crossing of a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary.\nC:H - `netlink_ack_tlv_fill()` does `nla_put_string(skb, NLMSGERR_ATTR_MSG, extack-\u003e_msg)` on an uninitialized pointer, copying kernel memory at an attacker-groomable address straight back to userspace, and the uninitialized `cookie_len` (up to 255 vs. a 20-byte array) additionally leaks ~130 bytes past the `nfnl_err` slab object. This is an attacker-directed kernel memory read primitive, defeating KASLR and exposing arbitrary kernel data.\nI:N - The defect is a pure use of uninitialized memory \u2014 every affected field is only read and serialized into a freshly allocated reply skb, whose `nla_put` calls are tailroom-checked. No kernel memory is written or corrupted, so no modification primitive arises.\nA:H - `strlen()` on the uninitialized `_msg` pointer dereferences a wild address, producing a page-fault oops, and the out-of-bounds `cookie_len` read triggers a KASAN slab-out-of-bounds report (panic with panic_on_warn/KASAN panic). The trigger is cheap and repeatable, so an unprivileged user can crash the kernel at will."

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.

Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

Nomenclature

  • Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
  • Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
  • Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
  • Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
  • Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.

    Vulnerabilities whose description is nearest to this one in the vector space of the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-biencoder model. This is a similarity search over the bi-encoder space (plain cosine), not a classification, and it has no measured accuracy.
