CVE-2025-40117
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
misc: pci_endpoint_test: Fix array underflow in pci_endpoint_test_ioctl()
Commit eefb83790a0d ("misc: pci_endpoint_test: Add doorbell test case") added NO_BAR (-1) to the pci_barno enum which, in practical terms, changes the enum from an unsigned int to a signed int. If the user passes a negative number in pci_endpoint_test_ioctl() then it results in an array underflow in pci_endpoint_test_bar().
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: 0.14%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 3
- 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
T1005Data from Local Systemcollection75 % - Impacto secundario
T1565Data Manipulationimpact70 %
Vulnerabilidad local (AV:L, PR:L) que permite un atacante con privilegios locales acceder a memoria fuera de límites (array underflow) mediante ioctl, logrando lectura (C:H) y modificación (I:H) de datos del kernel, escalando así privilegios.
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.
