"lang": "en",
"value": "AV:N - The vulnerable list walk is entered directly from data supplied by the remote SMB server \u2014 `mark_for_reconnect_if_needed()` fires when the server\u0027s DFS referral targets change, and `tree_connect_dfs_target()` fires from `smb2_reconnect()` when server-driven tree connects fail with a changed `leaf_fullpath`. The same remote peer also controls the width of the race window by stalling its SMB2 LOGOFF/TREE_DISCONNECT reply.\nAC:L - The attacker drives both sides of the race: the SES_EXITING-while-still-linked window spans blocking SMB round-trips that a malicious server can hold open until the SMB timeout, while referral churn or repeated forced reconnects re-enter the walk at unbounded rate. No condition depends on state outside the attacker\u0027s influence.\nPR:N - A malicious or compromised SMB server holds no privilege on the victim client \u2014 the client authenticates to the server, not the reverse \u2014 so no credentials on the vulnerable component are needed. The alternate local path via `CIFS_GENL_CMD_SWN_NOTIFY` also carries no `GENL_ADMIN_PERM` and is usable by any unprivileged user.\nUI:N - On an already-mounted enterprise SMB share (the normal automounted/persistent case), the DFS refresh worker and reconnect paths run on their own and session teardowns occur automatically via `cifs_prune_tlinks` and DFS failover. No victim action is required at exploitation time.\nS:U - The use-after-free corrupts kernel heap memory within the same kernel security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The walk reads `ses-\u003echan_count` and `ses-\u003echans[i].server` plus `server-\u003etcpStatus` out of a freed/reallocated `cifs_ses`, and a use-after-free on this object gives control over freed-slab contents, which is leverageable into an arbitrary kernel read primitive against `cifs_ses` state including session and encryption keys.\nI:H - The walk writes into the stale objects \u2014 acquiring `ses-\u003echan_lock` and `ses-\u003echans[i].server-\u003esrv_lock`, then storing `CifsNeedReconnect` into `tcpStatus`. Since the teardown path NULLs `chans[i].server` without `chan_lock` and never lowers `chan_count`, a sprayed replacement object yields a spinlock acquire plus a store at an attacker-chosen address, i.e. a write primitive usable for control-flow hijack.\nA:H - Dereferencing a freed `TCP_Server_Info` and taking `srv_lock` on reclaimed memory reliably produces slab corruption, a spinlock lockup, or an oops/panic, and the trigger can be repeated indefinitely by the remote server."

The same remote peer also controls the width of the race window by stalling its SMB2 LOGOFF/TREE_DISCONNECT reply.\nAC:L - The attacker drives both sides of the race: the SES_EXITING-while-still-linked window spans blocking SMB round-trips that a malicious server can hold open until the SMB timeout, while referral churn or repeated forced reconnects re-enter the walk at unbounded rate. No condition depends on state outside the attacker\u0027s influence.\nPR:N - A malicious or compromised SMB server holds no privilege on the victim client \u2014 the client authenticates to the server, not the reverse \u2014 so no credentials on the vulnerable component are needed. The alternate local path via `CIFS_GENL_CMD_SWN_NOTIFY` also carries no `GENL_ADMIN_PERM` and is usable by any unprivileged user.\nUI:N - On an already-mounted enterprise SMB share (the normal automounted/persistent case), the DFS refresh worker and reconnect paths run on their own and session teardowns occur automatically via `cifs_prune_tlinks` and DFS failover. No victim action is required at exploitation time.\nS:U - The use-after-free corrupts kernel heap memory within the same kernel security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The walk reads `ses-\u003echan_count` and `ses-\u003echans[i].server` plus `server-\u003etcpStatus` out of a freed/reallocated `cifs_ses`, and a use-after-free on this object gives control over freed-slab contents, which is leverageable into an arbitrary kernel read primitive against `cifs_ses` state including session and encryption keys.\nI:H - The walk writes into the stale objects \u2014 acquiring `ses-\u003echan_lock` and `ses-\u003echans[i].server-\u003esrv_lock`, then storing `CifsNeedReconnect` into `tcpStatus`. Since the teardown path NULLs `chans[i].server` without `chan_lock` and never lowers `chan_count`, a sprayed replacement object yields a spinlock acquire plus a store at an attacker-chosen address, i.e. a write primitive usable for control-flow hijack.\nA:H - Dereferencing a freed `TCP_Server_Info` and taking `srv_lock` on reclaimed memory reliably produces slab corruption, a spinlock lockup, or an oops/panic, and the trigger can be repeated indefinitely by the remote server."

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.

Nomenclature
- Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
- Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
- Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
- Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
- Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
Vulnerability timeline
Sightings and recorded dates, grouped by day · UTC
How durations are calculated
Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.
Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.

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.
