CVE-2025-21946
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix out-of-bounds in parse_sec_desc()
If osidoffset, gsidoffset and dacloffset could be greater than smb_ntsd struct size. If it is smaller, It could cause slab-out-of-bounds. And when validating sid, It need to check it included subauth array size.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H
- Puntuación base: 7.1
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.49%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 40
- 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 escalation90 % - Impacto principal
T1059Command and Scripting Interpreterexecution70 % - Impacto secundario
T1499.004Application or System Exploitationimpact60 %
AV:L/PR:L sin UI indica escalada local. Out-of-bounds en kernel ksmbd permite ejecución de código o DoS. CWE-125 (lectura fuera de límites) con I:N sugiere primariamente disponibilidad.
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.
