CVE-2023-22756

Status: ModifiedCritical (9.8)—

There are buffer overflow vulnerabilities in multiple underlying operating system processes that could lead to unauthenticated remote code execution by sending specially crafted packets via the PAPI protocol. Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities result in the ability to execute arbitrary code as a privileged user on the underlying operating system.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
