CVE-2026-63857
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: airoha: Do not read uninitialized fragment address in airoha_dev_xmit()
The transmit loop in airoha_dev_xmit() reads fragment address and length during its final iteration, when the loop index equals skb_shinfo(skb)->nr_frags, at which point the fragment data is uninitialized. While these values are never consumed, the read itself is unsafe and may trigger a page fault. Fix this by avoiding the fragment read on the last iteration. Additionally, move the skb pointer from the first to the last used packet descriptor, so that airoha_qdma_tx_napi_poll() defers freeing the skb until the final descriptor is processed.
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: 0.65%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 49
- 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).

- Explotación
T1190Exploit Public-Facing Applicationinitial access45 %
Vector CVSS de acceso remoto sin privilegios (AV:N, PR:N) apunta a T1190. Lectura de memoria no inicializada en driver de red (airoha) puede causar DoS (page fault) o escalada local si se corrompe estado del kernel.
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.
