CVE-2022-49025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Fix use-after-free when reverting termination table
When having multiple dests with termination tables and second one or afterwards fails the driver reverts usage of term tables but doesn't reset the assignment in attr->dests[num_vport_dests].termtbl which case a use-after-free when releasing the rule. Fix by resetting the assignment of termtbl to null.
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: 0.25%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 15
- Fecha de la puntuación: 5/10/2026
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 %
Acceso local (AV:L) sin interacción de usuario en kernel Linux. Use-after-free permite ejecución de código arbitrario con privilegios del proceso, escalando a root.
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.
