"value": "AV:L - The vulnerability is reached through the NETLINK_NETFILTER socket by issuing an nftables `NFT_MSG_NEWSETELEM` batch; it requires local system access to open the netlink socket and cannot be triggered by remote packets.\nAC:L - Every precondition \u2014 element timeout value, key ordering in the rbtree, insertion order of the interval end/start elements, and whether the batch commits or aborts \u2014 is fully controlled by the attacker within a single netlink batch, making the erroneous GC removal and subsequent double-free deterministic with no race to win.\nPR:L - The path is gated only by `netlink_net_capable(skb, CAP_NET_ADMIN)`, which resolves to `ns_capable(net-\u003euser_ns, CAP_NET_ADMIN)`; an ordinary unprivileged user obtains this via `unshare -Urn` on default-configured distributions.\nUI:N - The attacker performs the entire sequence \u2014 set creation, element expiry, and the triggering insert batch \u2014 from their own process with no victim action required.\nS:U - The corruption and any resulting privilege escalation occur entirely within the kernel\u0027s own security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or hypervisor boundary is crossed.\nC:H - On commit the freed element is read back by `nf_tables_setelem_notify()` and its contents are sent to userspace over netlink, and the double-free/UAF gives the attacker a reclaimed-slab read primitive over arbitrary kernel heap data.\nI:H - `nft_rbtree_activate()` writes into the freed object, `nft_set_elem_destroy()` double-frees it, and `nft_data_release()`/`nft_use_dec()` underflow the referenced chain/object use counters \u2014 a combination that yields controlled heap write primitives and full privilege escalation, as with the closely related exploited nftables refcount/double-free bugs.\nA:H - The use-after-free, double free, rbtree node corruption, and `nelems` underflow reliably produce kernel oopses or panics, and the sync GC path also hits `WARN_ON_ONCE` splats."

"value": "AV:L - The vulnerability is reached through the NETLINK_NETFILTER socket by issuing an nftables `NFT_MSG_NEWSETELEM` batch; it requires local system access to open the netlink socket and cannot be triggered by remote packets.\nAC:L - Every precondition \u2014 element timeout value, key ordering in the rbtree, insertion order of the interval end/start elements, and whether the batch commits or aborts \u2014 is fully controlled by the attacker within a single netlink batch, making the erroneous GC removal and subsequent double-free deterministic with no race to win.\nPR:L - The path is gated only by `netlink_net_capable(skb, CAP_NET_ADMIN)`, which resolves to `ns_capable(net-\u003euser_ns, CAP_NET_ADMIN)`; an ordinary unprivileged user obtains this via `unshare -Urn` on default-configured distributions.\nUI:N - The attacker performs the entire sequence \u2014 set creation, element expiry, and the triggering insert batch \u2014 from their own process with no victim action required.\nS:U - The corruption and any resulting privilege escalation occur entirely within the kernel\u0027s own security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or hypervisor boundary is crossed.\nC:H - On commit the freed element is read back by `nf_tables_setelem_notify()` and its contents are sent to userspace over netlink, and the double-free/UAF gives the attacker a reclaimed-slab read primitive over arbitrary kernel heap data.\nI:H - `nft_rbtree_activate()` writes into the freed object, `nft_set_elem_destroy()` double-frees it, and `nft_data_release()`/`nft_use_dec()` underflow the referenced chain/object use counters \u2014 a combination that yields controlled heap write primitives and full privilege escalation, as with the closely related exploited nftables refcount/double-free bugs.\nA:H - The use-after-free, double free, rbtree node corruption, and `nelems` underflow reliably produce kernel oopses or panics, and the sync GC path also hits `WARN_ON_ONCE` splats."

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.
Experimental. This forecast is provided for visualization only and may change without notice. Do not use it for operational decisions.
Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
