{
"lang": "en",
"value": "AV:L - The vulnerable `mld_del_delrec()` path is entered from IPv6 multicast socket options (`IPV6_ADD_MEMBERSHIP`/`MCAST_JOIN_GROUP`) via `ipv6_sock_mc_join()` \u2192 `__ipv6_dev_mc_inc()`, which requires a local socket and local syscall access. The secondary `ipv6_mc_up()` call site is likewise local (RTNL/admin), so no remote packet processing reaches this code directly.\nAC:L - The attacker deterministically creates the required state himself \u2014 join a group, drop it (creating the `mc_tomb` entry through `mld_add_delrec()` in the default MLDv2 mode), then rejoin \u2014 with no race to win and no memory-layout precondition outside his control. All steps are ordinary `setsockopt()` calls that succeed on the first try.\nPR:L - Only an unprivileged local account is needed; `ipv6_sock_mc_join()`/`ipv6_sock_mc_drop()` perform no capability check, and joining a global-scope IPv6 multicast group is permitted to any user holding an `AF_INET6` socket. No `CAP_NET_ADMIN` or root is required, and the path is equally available inside an unprivileged user namespace with a veth/dummy device.\nUI:N - The entire sequence is driven by the attacker\u0027s own socket calls in a single process. No victim action, no filesystem mount, and no administrator involvement is needed.\nS:U - The premature reference drop and its consequences are confined to the kernel\u0027s own `inet6_dev` allocation and the network namespace that owns it. No hypervisor, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed, so the vulnerable component and impacted component share one security authority.\nC:H - Dropping the `inet6_dev` reference before `ip6_mc_clear_src()` finishes using `pmc-\u003eidev` is a use-after-free pattern on a refcounted network structure; once the object can be reclaimed, an attacker who sprays the freed `inet6_dev` slab gains a read primitive over attacker-shaped heap contents and adjacent kernel data. Per the UAF guidance this warrants High rather than a bounded pointer leak.\nI:H - A use-after-free on `inet6_dev` gives the attacker control over the contents subsequently dereferenced through `pmc-\u003eidev`, including the `mc_lock`/list pointers reached from `mc_dereference()`, which is the standard basis for heap-spray-driven arbitrary write and control-flow hijack. Type-confused reuse of the freed slab makes kernel memory modification achievable rather than merely theoretical.\nA:H - If the released reference is the last one, the following `ip6_mc_clear_src()` operates on freed memory, producing an oops or panic and taking the whole kernel down. The trigger is a repeatable unprivileged `setsockopt()` loop, so the crash can be induced at will."

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.

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.

Vulnerabilities whose description is nearest to this one in the vector space of the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-biencoder model. This is a similarity search over the bi-encoder space (plain cosine), not a classification, and it has no measured accuracy.
