Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing/fprobe: Fix NULL pointer dereference in fprobe_fgraph_entry() fprobe_fgraph_entry() sizes a shadow-stack reservation in one walk of the per-ip fprobe list and fills it in a second walk, both under rcu_read_lock() only. A fprobe registered on an already-live ip can become visible between the two walks, so the fill walk processes an exit_handler the sizing walk did not count and used runs past reserved_words. If the sizing walk counted nothing, fgraph_data is NULL and the first write_fprobe_header() faults: Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address ... KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007] RIP: 0010:fprobe_fgraph_entry+0xa38/0xf10 kernel/trace/fprobe.c:167 Call Trace: <TASK> function_graph_enter_regs+0x44c/0xa10 kernel/trace/fgraph.c:677 ftrace_graph_func+0xc5/0x140 arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c:671 __kernel_text_address+0x9/0x40 kernel/extable.c:78 arch_stack_walk+0x117/0x170 arch/x86/kernel/stacktrace.c:26 kmem_cache_free+0x188/0x580 mm/slub.c:6378 tcp_data_queue+0x18d/0x6550 net/ipv4/tcp_input.c:5590 [...] </TASK> The list cannot be frozen across the two walks, so skip a node that does not fit the reservation and count it as missed.

Exploit status

No known public exploit

No public exploit has been observed yet. That doesn't mean you're safe, only that the bar is a little higher.

Research context

For pentesters and researchers: attack profile, score disagreement, timeline, patch commits, credits, variant and chain candidates, bug bounty scope. All derived from existing data; no exploit code.

Timeline

From publication to today: proof of concept, Metasploit module, CISA KEV and fix record. Dates are as reported by the sources.

No dated events beyond publication.

EPSS, last 120 days

FIRST EPSS daily score; only changes of 0.01 or more are recorded (step chart).

Patch and commit links

Commit, PR and diff links among the references. A starting point for patch-diffing and variant hunting; fixes, not exploits.

No commit or PR link among the references.

Credits

All researchers

Finders, reporters and analysts named in the CNA record. Click a name for that researcher’s other records.

No credits in the CNA record.

Variant candidates

Same product, same weakness class, within 18 months. If the patch missed the root cause, the sibling bug is here.

No nightly-computed relations.

Chain candidates

An authentication bypass and a privilege-requiring bug in the same product, published close together: combined they may become an unauthenticated path.
