CVE-2026-72434
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: ipset: make sure gc is properly stopped
Sashiko noticed that when destroying a set, cancel_delayed_work_sync() was called while gc calls queue_delayed_work() unconditionally which can lead not to properly shutting down the gc.
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: 0.18%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 6
- 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
