On any host configured with `action ct commit` (OVS-TC/OVN/Kubernetes offload nodes, the subsystem\u0027s primary deployment), an off-host attacker triggers it purely by sending routable UDP/ICMP/GRE traffic to or through the node.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race by flooding packets with an identical 5-tuple, which RSS spreads across CPUs so two unconfirmed conntracks reach `nf_conntrack_confirm` concurrently \u2014 conntrack clashes on UDP bursts are so routine that the kernel has dedicated clash-resolution machinery and counters for them. Once a clash occurs the free of the loser ct and the subsequent stale dereference are deterministic.\nPR:N - Conntrack processing happens on ingress before any application-layer authentication or socket delivery, so the attacker needs no account, credentials, or local access on the target. The tc/act_ct configuration is established by the administrator as part of normal deployment, not by the attacker.\nUI:N - The UAF is triggered entirely by unsolicited inbound packets processed in softirq context; no local user or administrator has to open, mount, or interact with anything.\nS:U - The freed conntrack object, the corrupting writes, and the impacted flow-offload table all live within the same host kernel\u0027s security authority. No VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The freed `nf_ct_ext` is a plain kmalloc object that an attacker can reclaim and spray, and `nf_conn_act_ct_ext_find()` uses an attacker-controlled `u8` offset from it as a pointer offset, yielding a controlled out-of-bounds read whose result is written into the offload tuple. The dangling `nf_conn` is also read wholesale into the flow entry, exposing reclaimed kernel memory.\nI:H - `tcf_ct_flow_table_add()` writes into the freed object \u2014 `test_and_set_bit(IPS_OFFLOAD_BIT, \u0026ct-\u003estatus)`, `refcount_inc(\u0026ct-\u003ect_general.use)`, and `ct-\u003eproto.tcp.seen[].flags |=` \u2014 and persists `flow-\u003ect` as a dangling pointer in the flow-offload table. With the `nf_conn` slab (SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU) reclaimed by attacker-sprayed connections, this produces refcount confusion and later double-free/UAF on a live object, a classic path to control-flow hijack.\nA:H - The use-after-free reliably crashes the kernel in softirq context under KASAN or slab poisoning, and unpoisoned it corrupts conntrack refcounting and the flow-offload table, leading to oops or panic. The attacker can repeat the packet flood indefinitely to keep re-triggering it."

On any host configured with `action ct commit` (OVS-TC/OVN/Kubernetes offload nodes, the subsystem\u0027s primary deployment), an off-host attacker triggers it purely by sending routable UDP/ICMP/GRE traffic to or through the node.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race by flooding packets with an identical 5-tuple, which RSS spreads across CPUs so two unconfirmed conntracks reach `nf_conntrack_confirm` concurrently \u2014 conntrack clashes on UDP bursts are so routine that the kernel has dedicated clash-resolution machinery and counters for them. Once a clash occurs the free of the loser ct and the subsequent stale dereference are deterministic.\nPR:N - Conntrack processing happens on ingress before any application-layer authentication or socket delivery, so the attacker needs no account, credentials, or local access on the target. The tc/act_ct configuration is established by the administrator as part of normal deployment, not by the attacker.\nUI:N - The UAF is triggered entirely by unsolicited inbound packets processed in softirq context; no local user or administrator has to open, mount, or interact with anything.\nS:U - The freed conntrack object, the corrupting writes, and the impacted flow-offload table all live within the same host kernel\u0027s security authority. No VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The freed `nf_ct_ext` is a plain kmalloc object that an attacker can reclaim and spray, and `nf_conn_act_ct_ext_find()` uses an attacker-controlled `u8` offset from it as a pointer offset, yielding a controlled out-of-bounds read whose result is written into the offload tuple. The dangling `nf_conn` is also read wholesale into the flow entry, exposing reclaimed kernel memory.\nI:H - `tcf_ct_flow_table_add()` writes into the freed object \u2014 `test_and_set_bit(IPS_OFFLOAD_BIT, \u0026ct-\u003estatus)`, `refcount_inc(\u0026ct-\u003ect_general.use)`, and `ct-\u003eproto.tcp.seen[].flags |=` \u2014 and persists `flow-\u003ect` as a dangling pointer in the flow-offload table. With the `nf_conn` slab (SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU) reclaimed by attacker-sprayed connections, this produces refcount confusion and later double-free/UAF on a live object, a classic path to control-flow hijack.\nA:H - The use-after-free reliably crashes the kernel in softirq context under KASAN or slab poisoning, and unpoisoned it corrupts conntrack refcounting and the flow-offload table, leading to oops or panic. The attacker can repeat the packet flood indefinitely to keep re-triggering it."

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.

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.

  • 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.

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.
