CVE-2025-40168
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smc: Use __sk_dst_get() and dst_dev_rcu() in smc_clc_prfx_match().
smc_clc_prfx_match() is called from smc_listen_work() and not under RCU nor RTNL.
Using sk_dst_get(sk)->dev could trigger UAF.
Let's use __sk_dst_get() and dst_dev_rcu().
Note that the returned value of smc_clc_prfx_match() is not used in the caller.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 8.1
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.39%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 31
- Fecha de la puntuación: 6/10/2026
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.
- Explotación

T1068Exploitation for Privilege Escalationprivilege escalation60 % - Impacto secundario
T1499.004Application or System Exploitationimpact35 %
Vulnerabilidad de UAF en kernel Linux que requiere red (AV:N) sin privilegios previos, pero AC:H y sin interacción. Impacto: escalada de privilegios (explotación de componente en el kernel) y posible DoS por corrupción de memoria.
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.
