"value": "A flaw was found in the Linux kernel\u0027s RxRPC networking subsystem. When a socket buffer carrying a page-cache reference reaches the RxRPC authentication verification path, the kernel performs an in-place decryption directly on the referenced page without first isolating the buffer. A low-privileged local attacker can exploit this behavior to corrupt the page-cache contents of readable files, including sensitive system files such as /etc/passwd, and obtain root privileges. Exploitation does not require unprivileged user or network namespaces, but depends on the RxRPC protocol stack being available on the target system."

An skb\nthat is not cloned but still carries externally-owned paged fragments\n(e.g. SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG set by splice() into a UDP socket via\n__ip_append_data, or a chained skb_has_frag_list()) falls through to\nthe in-place decryption path, which binds the frag pages directly into\nthe AEAD/skcipher SGL via skb_to_sgvec().\n\nExtend the gate to also unshare when skb_has_frag_list() or\nskb_has_shared_frag() is true. This catches the splice-loopback vector\nand other externally-shared frag sources while preserving the\nzero-copy fast path for skbs whose frags are kernel-private (e.g. NIC\npage_pool RX, GRO). The OOM/trace handling already in place is reused."

An skb\nthat is not cloned but still carries externally-owned paged fragments\n(e.g. SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG set by splice() into a UDP socket via\n__ip_append_data, or a chained skb_has_frag_list()) falls through to\nthe in-place decryption path, which binds the frag pages directly into\nthe AEAD/skcipher SGL via skb_to_sgvec().\n\nExtend the gate to also unshare when skb_has_frag_list() or\nskb_has_shared_frag() is true. This catches the splice-loopback vector\nand other externally-shared frag sources while preserving the\nzero-copy fast path for skbs whose frags are kernel-private (e.g. NIC\npage_pool RX, GRO). The OOM/trace handling already in place is reused."

When a socket buffer carrying a page-cache reference reaches the RxRPC authentication verification path, the kernel performs an in-place decryption directly on the referenced page without first isolating the buffer. A low-privileged local attacker can exploit this behavior to corrupt the page-cache contents of readable files, including sensitive system files such as /etc/passwd, and obtain root privileges. Exploitation does not require unprivileged user or network namespaces, but depends on the RxRPC protocol stack being available on the target system."

"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nrxrpc: Also unshare DATA/RESPONSE packets when paged frags are present\n\nThe DATA-packet handler in rxrpc_input_call_event() and the RESPONSE\nhandler in rxrpc_verify_response() copy the skb to a linear one before\ncalling into the security ops only when skb_cloned() is true. An skb\nthat is not cloned but still carries externally-owned paged fragments\n(e.g. SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG set by splice() into a UDP socket via\n__ip_append_data, or a chained skb_has_frag_list()) falls through to\nthe in-place decryption path, which binds the frag pages directly into\nthe AEAD/skcipher SGL via skb_to_sgvec().\n\nExtend the gate to also unshare when skb_has_frag_list() or\nskb_has_shared_frag() is true. This catches the splice-loopback vector\nand other externally-shared frag sources while preserving the\nzero-copy fast path for skbs whose frags are kernel-private (e.g. NIC\npage_pool RX, GRO). The OOM/trace handling already in place is reused."

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.

Sightings and recorded dates, grouped by day · UTC
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.
