CVE-2026-90227
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme/ioctl: check SUBMIT_IO with nvme_cmd_allowed()
Unlike IO_CMD / IO64_CMD, NVME_IOCTL_SUBMIT_IO never calls nvme_cmd_allowed(). Unprivileged callers can thus issue I/O on a partition device or write through a read-only file descriptor.
Pass flags and open_for_write through and reject disallowed commands with -EACCES.
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: 5/10/2026
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
T1005Data from Local Systemcollection75 % - Impacto secundario
T1565.001Stored Data Manipulationimpact70 %
Vulnerabilidad de escalada de privilegios local (AV:L, PR:L) en ioctl de NVMe que permite a usuarios sin privilegios eludir restricciones nvme_cmd_allowed(), accediendo a I/O en particiones y escribiendo sin permisos.
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.
