CVE-2025-39727
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: swap: fix potential buffer overflow in setup_clusters()
In setup_swap_map(), we only ensure badpages are in range (0, last_page]. As maxpages might be < last_page, setup_clusters() will encounter a buffer overflow when a badpage is >= maxpages.
Only call inc_cluster_info_page() for badpage which is < maxpages to fix the issue.
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: 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 escalation85 % - Impacto principal
T1059Command and Scripting Interpreterexecution75 %
Acceso local (AV:L) sin interacción del usuario en kernel Linux. CWE-120 (buffer overflow) permitiría escalada de privilegios o ejecución de código. La pista sugiere T1068 como explotación e impacto de ejecución de comandos.
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.
