CVE-2023-53554
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: ks7010: potential buffer overflow in ks_wlan_set_encode_ext()
The "exc->key_len" is a u16 that comes from the user. If it's over IW_ENCODING_TOKEN_MAX (64) that could lead to memory corruption.
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: 7
- 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 escalation90 % - Impacto principal
T1059Command and Scripting Interpreterexecution75 % - Impacto secundario
T1565Data Manipulationimpact70 %
AV:L, PR:L, UI:N indica escalada local sin interacción. Buffer overflow en ks7010 permite ejecución de código arbitrario y corrupción de memoria desde contexto privilegiado.
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.
