{
"lang": "en",
"value": "AV:L - The vulnerability is reached only through a crafted generic-netlink message (OVS_FLOW_CMD_NEW / OVS_PACKET_CMD_EXECUTE) sent on an AF_NETLINK socket by a local process. There is no remote or adjacent-network path into openvswitch flow-action validation.\nAC:L - Triggering requires only a single well-formed netlink message containing an OVS_ACTION_ATTR_SET whose inner nlattr declares nla_len of 1-3; there is no race, no timing window, and no dependence on memory layout the attacker cannot influence. The negative-length path is fully in-bounds and deterministic, and the actions are validated before the datapath lookup so not even a datapath must exist.\nPR:L - The OVS flow genl ops use GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM with .netnsok = true, so the CAP_NET_ADMIN check is scoped to the netns\u0027s owning user namespace and any unprivileged user can satisfy it with `unshare -Urn`. The openvswitch module is autoloaded from an unprivileged CTRL_CMD_GETFAMILY lookup via MODULE_ALIAS_GENL_FAMILY.\nUI:N - The attacker performs the entire sequence themselves via socket()/sendmsg(); no action by any other user or administrator is needed.\nS:U - The corruption is confined to kernel memory under the same security authority as the attacking process; no VM, IOMMU, or hypervisor boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The bug produces out-of-bounds reads beyond the netlink skb \u2014 the KMSAN-confirmed header read, the unbounded forward scan in validate_masked() with a negative length, and a memcpy whose source is read for up to SIZE_MAX bytes. Data copied out of bounds lands in the flow\u0027s actions buffer, which is echoed back to userspace by OVS_FLOW_CMD_GET/DUMP, giving an arbitrary kernel-memory disclosure primitive.\nI:H - With key_len underflowing to (size_t)-1, `memcpy(nla_data(at), nla_data(ovs_key), key_len)` and the following `memset(..., 0xff, key_len)` perform an effectively unbounded out-of-bounds write over the kernel heap using attacker-influenced data. An out-of-bounds write of this scope is a full integrity compromise.\nA:H - The wild memcpy/memset will fault as soon as it walks off mapped memory, and the negative-length validate_masked() loop scans up to 4G of memory; either way the result is a kernel panic, and on sanitizer builds it is an immediate KASAN/KMSAN report. The crash is reachable repeatedly by an unprivileged local user."

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.
