No local access is needed.\nAC:H - The use-after-free only materialises if the `struct net` obtained from `dev_net(dst-\u003edev)` is concurrently torn down (netns dismantle or `dev_change_net_namespace()`), a condition a remote attacker cannot influence, and the unprotected window between the pointer load and the `ip6_rt_min_advmss` dereference is narrow.\nPR:N - There is no privilege, capability or authentication check anywhere on the path; the code runs in softirq during SYN processing before any connection is established or credentials exchanged.\nUI:N - The attacker triggers the path entirely by transmitting packets to a listening IPv6 port; no action by a local user or victim process is required.\nS:U - The stale `struct net` dereference is confined to the kernel\u0027s own networking stack on the same host, crossing no virtualization, IOMMU or other security-authority boundary.\nC:H - This is a use-after-free read of a freed `net_cachep` slab object, and the recovered value directly influences the MSS advertised in the SYN-ACK, exposing reallocated kernel heap contents to the remote peer as an oracle.\nI:H - Reuse of a freed `struct net` means kernel state is derived from attacker-groomable reallocated slab memory; per UAF scoring guidance such object reuse is treated as corruption exploitable for further modification of kernel state.\nA:H - Dereferencing a `struct net` that has already been returned to the slab allocator can fault or read garbage, producing a KASAN splat, oops or panic in the TCP receive softirq path, and the trigger is repeatable with ordinary inbound connections."

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.

Sightings

Author Source Type Date Other

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.
