CVE-2025-37879

Estado: ModificadaAlta (7.1)—

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

9p/net: fix improper handling of bogus negative read/write replies

In p9_client_write() and p9_client_read_once(), if the server incorrectly replies with success but a negative write/read count then we would consider written (negative) <= rsize (positive) because both variables were signed.

Make variables unsigned to avoid this problem.

The reproducer linked below now fails with the following error instead of a null pointer deref: 9pnet: bogus RWRITE count (4294967295 > 3)

CVSS

Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).

🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK

Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.

Vulnerabilidad local (AV:L) en kernel Linux sin interacción del usuario que permite DoS por null pointer deref; requiere privilegios (PR:L). El CWE-125 (out-of-bounds read) y manejo de valores negativos sugiere posible ejecución de código tras corregir el deref.

Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
