CVE-2026-74296
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/mlx5: Release the HW‑provided UAR index rather than the SW one
Free the UAR index returned by the hardware.
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: 0.18%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 6
- 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 Interpreterexecution75 % - Impacto secundario
T1078Valid Accountsstealth · persistence · privilege escalation · initial access60 %
AV:L + PR:L sin UI indica escalada local. Liberación incorrecta de índice UAR en kernel RDMA/mlx5 permite al atacante local con privilegios menores ejecutar código con permisos elevados o obtener acceso de administrador.
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.
