Compensating controls
- Validate the affected product branch and deploy the verified fixed release.
- Restrict the affected network interface to trusted sources where business-safe.
- Monitor vendor guidance and exploitation sources for a material change.
Verification
- Confirm that the asset runs Linux Linux and falls inside the recorded affected range.
- Verify the installed build against the product-specific fixed version after deployment.
- Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
- Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.
Distribution package intelligence
4 package statesRelease-specific package status
Debian findings are scoped to the named distribution, release and source package. An absent finding does not mean a package is unaffected.
Repository candidate not checked
A published vendor fix does not prove that a matching update is enabled and installable on a particular asset. Confirm the local package candidate before scheduling remediation.

What, why and how
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: marvell: prestera: fix port event handling on init For some reason there might be a crash during ports creation if port events are handling at the same time because fw may send initial port event with down state. The crash points to cancel_delayed_work() which is called when port went is down. Currently I did not find out the real cause of the issue, so fixed it by cancel port stats work only if previous port's state was up & runnig. The following is the crash which can be triggered: [ 28.311104] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 000071775f776600 [ 28.319097] Mem abort info: [ 28.321914] ESR = 0x96000004 [ 28.324996] EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits [ 28.330350] SET = 0, FnV = 0 [ 28.333430] EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 [ 28.336597] Data abort info: [ 28.339499] ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000004 [ 28.343362] CM = 0, WnR = 0 [ 28.346354] user pgtable: 4k pages, 48-bit VAs, pgdp=0000000100bf7000 [ 28.352842] [000071775f776600] pgd=0000000000000000, p4d=0000000000000000 [ 28.359695] Internal error: Oops: 96000004 [#1] PREEMPT SMP [ 28.365310] Modules linked in: prestera_pci(+) prestera uio_pdrv_genirq [ 28.372005] CPU: 0 PID: 1291 Comm: kworker/0:1H Not tainted 5.11.0-rc4 #1 [ 28.378846] Hardware name: DNI AmazonGo1 A7040 board (DT) [ 28.384283] Workqueue: prestera_fw_wq prestera_fw_evt_work_fn [prestera_pci] [ 28.391413] pstate: 60000085 (nZCv daIf -PAN -UAO -TCO BTYPE=--) [ 28.397468] pc : get_work_pool+0x48/0x60 [ 28.401442] lr : try_to_grab_pending+0x6c/0x1b0 [ 28.406018] sp : ffff80001391bc60 [ 28.409358] x29: ffff80001391bc60 x28: 0000000000000000 [ 28.414725] x27: ffff000104fc8b40 x26: ffff80001127de88 [ 28.420089] x25: 0000000000000000 x24: ffff000106119760 [ 28.425452] x23: ffff00010775dd60 x22: ffff00010567e000 [ 28.430814] x21: 0000000000000000 x20: ffff80001391bcb0 [ 28.436175] x19: ffff00010775deb8 x18: 00000000000000c0 [ 28.441537] x17: 0000000000000000 x16: 000000008d9b0e88 [ 28.446898] x15: 0000000000000001 x14: 00000000000002ba [ 28.452261] x13: 80a3002c00000002 x12: 00000000000005f4 [ 28.457622] x11: 0000000000000030 x10: 000000000000000c [ 28.462985] x9 : 000000000000000c x8 : 0000000000000030 [ 28.468346] x7 : ffff800014400000 x6 : ffff000106119758 [ 28.473708] x5 : 0000000000000003 x4 : ffff00010775dc60 [ 28.479068] x3 : 0000000000000000 x2 : 0000000000000060 [ 28.484429] x1 : 000071775f776600 x0 : ffff00010775deb8 [ 28.489791] Call trace: [ 28.492259] get_work_pool+0x48/0x60 [ 28.495874] cancel_delayed_work+0x38/0xb0 [ 28.500011] prestera_port_handle_event+0x90/0xa0 [prestera] [ 28.505743] prestera_evt_recv+0x98/0xe0 [prestera] [ 28.510683] prestera_fw_evt_work_fn+0x180/0x228 [prestera_pci] [ 28.516660] process_one_work+0x1e8/0x360 [ 28.520710] worker_thread+0x44/0x480 [ 28.524412] kthread+0x154/0x160 [ 28.527670] ret_from_fork+0x10/0x38 [ 28.531290] Code: a8c17bfd d50323bf d65f03c0 9278dc21 (f9400020) [ 28.537429] ---[ end trace 5eced933df3a080b ]---

Why
The product does not properly control the allocation and maintenance of a limited resource.
How
An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation without authentication or user interaction. If successful, the issue may disrupt the affected service.
02
Exploit reality and attack path
CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.
Observed exploitation No confirmed evidence
?
Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.
Public PoC / exploit material None recorded
?
Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.
- Likely attack path
- a network path → Uncontrolled Resource Consumption → disrupt the affected service
- Attack surface
- Network
- Privileges required
- None: unauthenticated exploitation is possible
- User interaction
- None
- Attack complexity
- Low: no specialised conditions are recorded
- Security boundary
- Unchanged: impact remains within the vulnerable component's security authority
- Weakness
?
CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness. - CWE-400 ↗
CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption. The product does not properly control the allocation and maintenance of a limited resource.
- CVSS vector
?
CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity. CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:HCommon Vulnerability Scoring System 3.1: the compact vector below is decoded into plain language.
AVNetworkAttack vector: The vulnerable component can be reached over a network.ACLowAttack complexity: No specialised conditions are required beyond attacker-controlled input.PRNonePrivileges required: The attacker does not need an account or existing privileges.UINoneUser interaction: No action by another user is required.SUnchangedScope: The security impact remains within the vulnerable component's authority.CNoneConfidentiality impact: No direct loss is represented by this metric.ILowIntegrity impact: A successful attack can cause a limited loss.AHighAvailability impact: A successful attack can cause a major loss.- Post-exploitation / living off the land
- No specific living-off-the-land technique is confirmed in the structured sources. Monitor normal administration tools for activity inconsistent with the affected service's baseline.
03
Patch and workaround
Operational remediation based on structured source evidence.
- Status
?
Patch availability is based on structured fixed-version fields and authoritative update references. If no fix is verified, check the vendor advisory before making a change. - Patch available
- Action
- Review the linked authoritative reference and apply the recorded fixed release appropriate to the affected product branch.
- Workaround
- No verified workaround is recorded. If business-safe, reduce exposure to the affected interface and allow only trusted sources until authoritative guidance is available.
