CVE-2026-72234
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: access unicast_ttvn skb->data only after skb realloc
The pskb_may_pull() called by batadv_get_vid() could reallocate the buffer behind the skb. Variables which were pointing to the old buffer need to be reassigned to avoid an use-after-free.
This was done correctly for the ethernet header but missed for the unicast_packet pointer.
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: 0.73%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 53
- 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
T1190Exploit Public-Facing Applicationinitial access75 % - Impacto principal
T1499.004Application or System Exploitationimpact65 %
Vulnerabilidad de uso-después-liberación (use-after-free) en el kernel Linux accesible remotamente sin privilegios (AV:N/PR:N). Permite negación de servicio por corrupción de memoria o potencial ejecución de código. La explotación requiere enviar paquetes batman-adv especialmente construidos.
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.
