CVE-2025-40216
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring/rsrc: don't rely on user vaddr alignment
There is no guaranteed alignment for user pointers, however the calculation of an offset of the first page into a folio after coalescing uses some weird bit mask logic, get rid of it.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 7.8
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.14%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 3
- 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 escalation85 % - Impacto principal
T1059Command and Scripting Interpreterexecution70 %
AV:L + PR:L (acceso local con privilegios) + impacto C:H/I:H indica escalada de privilegios local. La descripción de dealineamiento de memoria en io_uring sugiere corrupción de memoria que permite ejecución de código.
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.
