Evidence used

  • No CISA KEV confirmation is currently recorded.
  • Exploitation requires an existing local or physical foothold with privileges.
  • EPSS is 0.26% for the current model date.

Compensating controls

  • Validate the affected product branch and deploy the verified fixed release.
  • Restrict local access and enforce least privilege on affected hosts.
  • Monitor vendor guidance and exploitation sources for a material change.

Verification

  1. Confirm that the asset runs Linux Linux and falls inside the recorded affected range.
  2. Verify the installed build against the product-specific fixed version after deployment.
  3. Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
  4. Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.
Mitigation target: As exposure requiresRemediation target: Within 365 days

This automated reassessment organises public evidence. It does not know asset exposure, business impact or control effectiveness and does not replace CVSS or a human risk decision.

Cross-source reconciliation

Remediation availability differs by product scope

Verified remediation exists for at least one product or source, but 91 structured product or package states remain unresolved. Apply remediation only to the exact product branch confirmed by its source.

Distribution package intelligence

Release-specific package status

Debian, ubuntu findings are scoped to the named distribution, release and source package. An absent finding does not mean a package is unaffected.

5 package states
Package result overrides the generic status

BlackTree has verified remediation for at least one product or source, but the relevant distribution still reports no fixed package for 1 affected package state shown here. Treat those rows as affected with no fix until that distribution publishes a fixed version.

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.

Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sit: do not call ipip6_dev_free() from sit_init_net() ipip6_dev_free is sit dev->priv_destructor, already called by register_netdevice() if something goes wrong. Alternative would be to make ipip6_dev_free() robust against multiple invocations, but other drivers do not implement this strategy. syzbot reported: dst_release underflow WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5059 at net/core/dst.c:173 dst_release+0xd8/0xe0 net/core/dst.c:173 Modules linked in: CPU: 1 PID: 5059 Comm: syz-executor.4 Not tainted 5.16.0-rc5-syzkaller #0 Hardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 01/01/2011 RIP: 0010:dst_release+0xd8/0xe0 net/core/dst.c:173 Code: 4c 89 f2 89 d9 31 c0 5b 41 5e 5d e9 da d5 44 f9 e8 1d 90 5f f9 c6 05 87 48 c6 05 01 48 c7 c7 80 44 99 8b 31 c0 e8 e8 67 29 f9 0b eb 85 0f 1f 40 00 53 48 89 fb e8 f7 8f 5f f9 48 83 c3 a8 48 RSP: 0018:ffffc9000aa5faa0 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: d6894a925dd15a00 RBX: 00000000ffffffff RCX: 0000000000040000 RDX: ffffc90005e19000 RSI: 000000000003ffff RDI: 0000000000040000 RBP: 0000000000000000 R08: ffffffff816a1f42 R09: ffffed1017344f2c R10: ffffed1017344f2c R11: 0000000000000000 R12: 0000607f462b1358 R13: 1ffffffff1bfd305 R14: ffffe8ffffcb1358 R15: dffffc0000000000 FS: 00007f66c71a2700(0000) GS:ffff8880b9a00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00007f88aaed5058 CR3: 0000000023e0f000 CR4: 00000000003506f0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Call Trace: dst_cache_destroy+0x107/0x1e0 net/core/dst_cache.c:160 ipip6_dev_free net/ipv6/sit.c:1414 [inline] sit_init_net+0x229/0x550 net/ipv6/sit.c:1936 ops_init+0x313/0x430 net/core/net_namespace.c:140 setup_net+0x35b/0x9d0 net/core/net_namespace.c:326 copy_net_ns+0x359/0x5c0 net/core/net_namespace.c:470 create_new_namespaces+0x4ce/0xa00 kernel/nsproxy.c:110 unshare_nsproxy_namespaces+0x11e/0x180 kernel/nsproxy.c:226 ksys_unshare+0x57d/0xb50 kernel/fork.c:3075 __do_sys_unshare kernel/fork.c:3146 [inline] __se_sys_unshare kernel/fork.c:3144 [inline] __x64_sys_unshare+0x34/0x40 kernel/fork.c:3144 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:50 [inline] do_syscall_64+0x44/0xd0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae RIP: 0033:0x7f66c882ce99 Code: ff ff c3 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 0f 1f 40 00 48 89 f8 48 89 f7 48 89 d6 48 89 ca 4d 89 c2 4d 89 c8 4c 8b 4c 24 08 0f 05 3d 01 f0 ff ff 73 01 c3 48 c7 c1 bc ff ff ff f7 d8 64 89 01 48 RSP: 002b:00007f66c71a2168 EFLAGS: 00000246 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000110 RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 00007f66c893ff60 RCX: 00007f66c882ce99 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: 0000000048040200 RBP: 00007f66c8886ff1 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000246 R12: 0000000000000000 R13: 00007fff6634832f R14: 00007f66c71a2300 R15: 0000000000022000

Why

The current structured CVE record identifies a security weakness, but the root cause requires confirmation in the linked vendor material.

How

An attacker operating through local access may attempt exploitation with low privileges. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

What

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sit: do not call ipip6_dev_free() from sit_init_net() ipip6_dev_free is sit dev->priv_destructor, already called by register_netdevice() if something goes wrong. Alternative would be to make ipip6_dev_free() robust against multiple invocations, but other drivers do not implement this strategy. syzbot reported: dst_release underflow WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5059 at net/core/dst.c:173 dst_release+0xd8/0xe0 net/core/dst.c:173 Modules linked in: CPU: 1 PID: 5059 Comm: syz-executor.4 Not tainted 5.16.0-rc5-syzkaller #0 Hardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 01/01/2011 RIP: 0010:dst_release+0xd8/0xe0 net/core/dst.c:173 Code: 4c 89 f2 89 d9 31 c0 5b 41 5e 5d e9 da d5 44 f9 e8 1d 90 5f f9 c6 05 87 48 c6 05 01 48 c7 c7 80 44 99 8b 31 c0 e8 e8 67 29 f9 <0f> 0b eb 85 0f 1f 40 00 53 48 89 fb e8 f7 8f 5f f9 48 83 c3 a8 48 RSP: 0018:ffffc9000aa5faa0 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: d6894a925dd15a00 RBX: 00000000ffffffff RCX: 0000000000040000 RDX: ffffc90005e19000 RSI: 000000000003ffff RDI: 0000000000040000 RBP: 0000000000000000 R08: ffffffff816a1f42 R09: ffffed1017344f2c R10: ffffed1017344f2c R11: 0000000000000000 R12: 0000607f462b1358 R13: 1ffffffff1bfd305 R14: ffffe8ffffcb1358 R15: dffffc0000000000 FS: 00007f66c71a2700(0000) GS:ffff8880b9a00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00007f88aaed5058 CR3: 0000000023e0f000 CR4: 00000000003506f0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Call Trace: <TASK> dst_cache_destroy+0x107/0x1e0 net/core/dst_cache.c:160 ipip6_dev_free net/ipv6/sit.c:1414 [inline] sit_init_net+0x229/0x550 net/ipv6/sit.c:1936 ops_init+0x313/0x430 net/core/net_namespace.c:140 setup_net+0x35b/0x9d0 net/core/net_namespace.c:326 copy_net_ns+0x359/0x5c0 net/core/net_namespace.c:470 create_new_namespaces+0x4ce/0xa00 kernel/nsproxy.c:110 unshare_nsproxy_namespaces+0x11e/0x180 kernel/nsproxy.c:226 ksys_unshare+0x57d/0xb50 kernel/fork.c:3075 __do_sys_unshare kernel/fork.c:3146 [inline] __se_sys_unshare kernel/fork.c:3144 [inline] __x64_sys_unshare+0x34/0x40 kernel/fork.c:3144 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:50 [inline] do_syscall_64+0x44/0xd0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae RIP: 0033:0x7f66c882ce99 Code: ff ff c3 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 0f 1f 40 00 48 89 f8 48 89 f7 48 89 d6 48 89 ca 4d 89 c2 4d 89 c8 4c 8b 4c 24 08 0f 05 <48> 3d 01 f0 ff ff 73 01 c3 48 c7 c1 bc ff ff ff f7 d8 64 89 01 48 RSP: 002b:00007f66c71a2168 EFLAGS: 00000246 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000110 RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 00007f66c893ff60 RCX: 00007f66c882ce99 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: 0000000048040200 RBP: 00007f66c8886ff1 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000246 R12: 0000000000000000 R13: 00007fff6634832f R14: 00007f66c71a2300 R15: 0000000000022000 </TASK>

Why

The current structured CVE record identifies a security weakness, but the root cause requires confirmation in the linked vendor material.

How

An attacker operating through local access may attempt exploitation with low privileges. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

02

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

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
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

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
local access → vulnerable operation → cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor
Attack surface
Local
Privileges required
Low: a basic authenticated account is required
User interaction

Weakness
?CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration.
CWE not yet assigned
CVSS vector
?CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity.
CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Common Vulnerability Scoring System 3.1: the compact vector below is decoded into plain language.

AVLocalAttack vector: The attacker needs local access to the vulnerable system.ACLowAttack complexity: No specialised conditions are required beyond attacker-controlled input.PRLowPrivileges required: The attacker needs basic user-level privileges.UINoneUser interaction: No action by another user is required.SUnchangedScope: The security impact remains within the vulnerable component's authority.CHighConfidentiality impact: A successful attack can cause a major loss.IHighIntegrity impact: A successful attack can cause a major loss.AHighAvailability impact: A successful attack can cause a major loss.
Post-exploitation / living off the land
The issue can support a local privilege or sandbox boundary transition; normal system utilities may then be available in the gained context.
