CVE-2026-72455

Estado: RecibidaAlta (7.1)—

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

apparmor: fix uninitialised pointer passed to audit_log_untrustedstring()

Commit 4a134723f9f1 ("apparmor: move check for aa_null file to cover all cases") intrdouced a small bug, where path_name() may pass a potentially uninitialized *name to aa_audit_file() if the path->dentry had been replaced with aa_null.dentry earlier on. This can lead to page fault like one observed on 7.0.2 openSUSE Tumbleweed kernel:

While here, initialise variables which are passed down to path_name().

CVSS

Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)

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.

Acceso local (AV:L) sin interacción (UI:N) por búfer no inicializado en AppArmor causa DoS (page fault kernel); escalada de privilegios por vulnerabilidad en subsistema de seguridad local.

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.
