CVE-2025-39972
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i40e: fix idx validation in i40e_validate_queue_map
Ensure idx is within range of active/initialized TCs when iterating over vf->ch[idx] in i40e_validate_queue_map().
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 8.8
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.15%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 4
- 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 escalation95 % - Impacto principal
T1059Command and Scripting Interpreterexecution75 % - Impacto secundario
T1499.004Application or System Exploitationimpact70 %
Acceso local sin interacción (AV:L/PR:L/UI:N) en kernel Linux. Validación deficiente de índices en i40e_validate_queue_map permite escalada de privilegios. Impactos: ejecución de código kernel y potencial DoS por corrupción de memoria.
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.
