CVE-2026-80924

Estado: RecibidaAlta (7.5)—

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

crypto: krb5 - use kfree_sensitive() for derived key buffers

crypto_krb5_prepare_encryption() and crypto_krb5_prepare_checksum() free the buffer holding the freshly derived keys with plain kfree(), leaving the key material behind in the freed slab object.

CVSS

Versión: 3.1
Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Puntuación base: 7.5

Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)

Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.32%
Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 23
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.

ExplotaciónT1190 Exploit Public-Facing Applicationinitial access65 %
Impacto principalT1552.007 Container APIcredential access75 %

Vulnerabilidad en kernel Linux (AV:N, PR:N, UI:N) permite lectura de claves criptográficas derivadas en memoria liberada (C:H indica confidencialidad alta). La falta de limpieza sensible de datos deja material criptográfico en objetos slab accesibles.

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.
