              "value": "AV:A - The malformed page 7 payload is supplied by the enclosure target over the storage fabric (SAS expander/enclosure, FC, or iSCSI/SRP target), so a rogue or compromised device on the SAN segment reaches the parser with no local access. This matches the CNA\u0027s treatment of the sibling fixes in the same series (CVE-2023-53803, CVE-2023-7324); a malicious USB device asserting the EncServ INQUIRY bit is an additional, less severe path.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both the page 7 length header and every descriptor byte, so positioning desc_ptr just under buf + page7_len and reporting a descriptor length of 0xFFFF deterministically drives the read, the NUL write, and the name pointer out of bounds on every probe. No race, timing window, or uncontrolled memory layout is involved.\nPR:N - ses_intf_add() is a class_interface on sdev_class and runs automatically during SCSI LUN discovery/rescan for any target that sets the EncServ bit in its own INQUIRY response, so no account, credential, or capability on the host is required. The KASAN report in the companion fix was produced by systemd-udevd during ordinary enumeration.\nUI:N - Enclosure probing is driven by the kernel\u0027s automatic device discovery on link-up, hotplug, and session re-establishment, and TYPE_ENCLOSURE autoloads the ses module via its modalias. No mount, open, or configuration action by a victim is needed.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds read and NUL write both land in the kernel\u0027s own slab memory and the leaked bytes surface through the kernel\u0027s enclosure sysfs interface. No VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - With the terminating NUL written far past the allocation, name = desc_ptr points at out-of-bounds heap and enclosure_component_alloc() copies it via snprintf(newname, 64, \"%s\", name) into dev_set_name(), exposing up to 63 bytes of adjacent kernel heap as a world-readable /sys/class/enclosure/ directory name. Repeated re-probes resample different heap neighbours, giving a reliable heap-disclosure and KASLR-defeat oracle.\nI:H - desc_ptr[len] = \u0027\\0\u0027 with an unbounded 16-bit device-supplied len writes a zero byte at an attacker-chosen offset of up to ~64 KB beyond the kzalloc\u0027d buffer \u2014 a controlled out-of-bounds heap write and the classic poison-null-byte primitive for corrupting adjacent object headers, length fields, and pointers. It is repeatable on every discovery cycle, so it is exploitable for control-flow-relevant heap corruption, not merely stray damage.\nA:H - The far out-of-bounds write and the descriptor read can reach unmapped memory beyond the slab page, oopsing the udev-context probe thread, and trip a KASAN slab-out-of-bounds report that panics hosts running panic_on_warn. Even short of a panic, corrupting adjacent slab metadata leads to allocator failure and kernel crash, and the attacker can force it on every enumeration."

Taxonomy of the tags.




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.

Author Source Type Date Other

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.
