CVE-2026-72480
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: adc: xilinx-ams: fix out-of-bounds channel lookup in event handling
ams_event_to_channel() may return a pointer past the end of dev->channels when no matching scan_index is found. This can lead to invalid memory access in ams_handle_event().
Add a bounds check in ams_event_to_channel() and return NULL when no channel is found. Also guard the caller to safely handle this case.
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: 7
- 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
T1068Exploitation for Privilege Escalationprivilege escalation85 % - Impacto principal
T1498.001Direct Network Floodimpact60 % - Impacto secundario
T1005Data from Local Systemcollection55 %
AV:L + PR:L sin UI (acceso local con privilegios, sin interacción) → escalada. Out-of-bounds puede causar DoS o lectura de memoria 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.
