IPComp carries no key and the allocation only\nreserves sizeof(struct xfrm_algo) (i.e. no room for a key), so the field\nis left containing uninitialized slab data.\n\ncalg-\u003ealg_key_len is later used as a length by xfrm_algo_clone() when an\nIPComp state is cloned during XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE:\n\n\txfrm_state_migrate()\n\t xfrm_state_clone_and_setup()\n\t x-\u003ecalg = xfrm_algo_clone(orig-\u003ecalg);\n\t kmemdup(orig, xfrm_alg_len(orig));\n\nwhere xfrm_alg_len() returns sizeof(*alg) + (alg_key_len + 7) / 8. With\na non-zero garbage alg_key_len, kmemdup() reads past the end of the\n68-byte calg object. Adding an IPComp SA via PF_KEY and then migrating\nit triggers (net-next, KASAN, init_on_alloc=0):\n\n BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in kmemdup_noprof+0x44/0x60\n Read of size 4164 at addr ff11000025a74980 by task diag2/9287\n CPU: 3 UID: 0 PID: 9287 Comm: diag2 7.1.0-rc6-g903db046d557 #1\n Call Trace:\n \u003cTASK\u003e\n dump_stack_lvl+0x10e/0x1f0\n print_report+0xf7/0x600\n kasan_report+0xe4/0x120\n kasan_check_range+0x105/0x1b0\n __asan_memcpy+0x23/0x60\n kmemdup_noprof+0x44/0x60\n xfrm_state_migrate+0x70a/0x1da0\n xfrm_migrate+0x753/0x18a0\n xfrm_do_migrate+0xb47/0xf10\n xfrm_user_rcv_msg+0x411/0xb50\n netlink_rcv_skb+0x158/0x420\n xfrm_netlink_rcv+0x71/0x90\n netlink_unicast+0x584/0x850\n netlink_sendmsg+0x8b0/0xdc0\n ____sys_sendmsg+0x9f7/0xb90\n ___sys_sendmsg+0x134/0x1d0\n __sys_sendmsg+0x16d/0x220\n do_syscall_64+0x116/0x7d0\n entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f\n \u003c/TASK\u003e\n\n Allocated by task 9287:\n kasan_save_stack+0x33/0x60\n kasan_save_track+0x14/0x30\n __kasan_kmalloc+0xaa/0xb0\n pfkey_add+0x2652/0x2ea0\n pfkey_process+0x6d0/0x830\n pfkey_sendmsg+0x42c/0x850\n __sys_sendto+0x461/0x4b0\n __x64_sys_sendto+0xe0/0x1c0\n do_syscall_64+0x116/0x7d0\n entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f\n\n The buggy address belongs to the object at ff11000025a74980\n which belongs to the cache kmalloc-96 of size 96\n The buggy address is located 0 bytes inside of\n allocated 68-byte region [ff11000025a74980, ff11000025a749c4)\n\nDepending on the uninitialized value the same field can instead request\nan oversized kmemdup() allocation and make the migration clone fail.\n\nThe XFRM netlink path is not affected: verify_one_alg() rejects an\nXFRMA_ALG_COMP attribute shorter than xfrm_alg_len(), so a calg added via\nXFRM_MSG_NEWSA is always self-consistent.\n\nInitialize calg-\u003ealg_key_len to 0, matching the aalg/ealg branches."

No race or victim-controlled condition is required.\nPR:L - Both paths require CAP_NET_ADMIN relative to the network namespace\u0027s owning user namespace. An unprivileged user can obtain this capability in a newly created user and network namespace.\nUI:N - No victim action is required after the attacker gains local execution and submits the crafted state and migration messages.\nS:U - The vulnerability affects the host kernel within its existing security authority and does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or equivalent scope boundary.\nC:H - The controlled length causes a potentially large out-of-bounds read across adjacent kernel heap objects, which can capture sensitive kernel memory and is not tightly bounded.\nI:N - kmemdup allocates a destination matching the computed length, and the vulnerable operation only over-reads the source. No out-of-bounds write or control-flow modification path was identified.\nA:H - The over-read can trigger a kernel fault or panic under memory-safety enforcement. Controlled oversized clone allocations can also be repeated across states to exhaust kernel memory."

IPComp carries no key and the allocation only\nreserves sizeof(struct xfrm_algo) (i.e. no room for a key), so the field\nis left containing uninitialized slab data.\n\ncalg-\u003ealg_key_len is later used as a length by xfrm_algo_clone() when an\nIPComp state is cloned during XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE:\n\n\txfrm_state_migrate()\n\t xfrm_state_clone_and_setup()\n\t x-\u003ecalg = xfrm_algo_clone(orig-\u003ecalg);\n\t kmemdup(orig, xfrm_alg_len(orig));\n\nwhere xfrm_alg_len() returns sizeof(*alg) + (alg_key_len + 7) / 8. With\na non-zero garbage alg_key_len, kmemdup() reads past the end of the\n68-byte calg object. Adding an IPComp SA via PF_KEY and then migrating\nit triggers (net-next, KASAN, init_on_alloc=0):\n\n BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in kmemdup_noprof+0x44/0x60\n Read of size 4164 at addr ff11000025a74980 by task diag2/9287\n CPU: 3 UID: 0 PID: 9287 Comm: diag2 7.1.0-rc6-g903db046d557 #1\n Call Trace:\n \u003cTASK\u003e\n dump_stack_lvl+0x10e/0x1f0\n print_report+0xf7/0x600\n kasan_report+0xe4/0x120\n kasan_check_range+0x105/0x1b0\n __asan_memcpy+0x23/0x60\n kmemdup_noprof+0x44/0x60\n xfrm_state_migrate+0x70a/0x1da0\n xfrm_migrate+0x753/0x18a0\n xfrm_do_migrate+0xb47/0xf10\n xfrm_user_rcv_msg+0x411/0xb50\n netlink_rcv_skb+0x158/0x420\n xfrm_netlink_rcv+0x71/0x90\n netlink_unicast+0x584/0x850\n netlink_sendmsg+0x8b0/0xdc0\n ____sys_sendmsg+0x9f7/0xb90\n ___sys_sendmsg+0x134/0x1d0\n __sys_sendmsg+0x16d/0x220\n do_syscall_64+0x116/0x7d0\n entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f\n \u003c/TASK\u003e\n\n Allocated by task 9287:\n kasan_save_stack+0x33/0x60\n kasan_save_track+0x14/0x30\n __kasan_kmalloc+0xaa/0xb0\n pfkey_add+0x2652/0x2ea0\n pfkey_process+0x6d0/0x830\n pfkey_sendmsg+0x42c/0x850\n __sys_sendto+0x461/0x4b0\n __x64_sys_sendto+0xe0/0x1c0\n do_syscall_64+0x116/0x7d0\n entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f\n\n The buggy address belongs to the object at ff11000025a74980\n which belongs to the cache kmalloc-96 of size 96\n The buggy address is located 0 bytes inside of\n allocated 68-byte region [ff11000025a74980, ff11000025a749c4)\n\nDepending on the uninitialized value the same field can instead request\nan oversized kmemdup() allocation and make the migration clone fail.\n\nThe XFRM netlink path is not affected: verify_one_alg() rejects an\nXFRMA_ALG_COMP attribute shorter than xfrm_alg_len(), so a calg added via\nXFRM_MSG_NEWSA is always self-consistent.\n\nInitialize calg-\u003ealg_key_len to 0, matching the aalg/ealg branches."

- 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.

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.
