CVE-2025-38548
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (corsair-cpro) Validate the size of the received input buffer
Add buffer_recv_size to store the size of the received bytes. Validate buffer_recv_size in send_usb_cmd().
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: 0.17%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 5
- 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 % - Impacto principal
T1059Command and Scripting Interpreterexecution70 % - Impacto secundario
T1498.001Direct Network Floodimpact60 %
AV:L sin UI permite escalada local (T1068). Fallo de validación de buffer en hwmon puede permitir ejecución de código o DoS desde cuenta con privilegios limitados.
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.
