CVE-2026-0799
In BPF instructions that load/store a value from/to a scratch memory register the register index is an unsigned 32-bit integer and must not exceed 15, but libpcap BPF interpreter does not validate the value. In particular uncommon use cases a crafted filter program can cause the interpreter to try reading and writing the OS process memory in the 16GiB starting at the current stack frame on 64-bit architectures and in the entire address space on 32-bit architectures.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 8.7
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.11%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 1
- Fecha de la puntuación: 4/10/2026
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.

T1005Data from Local Systemcollection75 %
AV:L + PR:L sin UI indica escalada local. El acceso a memoria del proceso y stack permite ejecutar código arbitrario (T1059) o leer datos sensibles (T1005). CWE-787 (buffer overflow) confirma escritura 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.
