CVE-2025-40074
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv4: start using dst_dev_rcu()
Change icmpv4_xrlim_allow(), ip_defrag() to prevent possible UAF.
Change ipmr_prepare_xmit(), ipmr_queue_fwd_xmit(), ip_mr_output(), ipv4_neigh_lookup() to use lockdep enabled dst_dev_rcu().
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 9.8
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.46%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 38
- 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).
