Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponized: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 5 Nov 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: ccp - Fix crash when rebind ccp device for ccp.ko When CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_CCP_DEBUGFS is enabled, rebinding the ccp device causes the following crash: $ echo '0000:0a:00.2' > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ccp/unbind $ echo '0000:0a:00.2' > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ccp/bind [ 204.976930] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000098 [ 204.978026] #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode [ 204.979126] #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page [ 204.980226] PGD 0 P4D 0 [ 204.981317] Oops: Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP NOPTI ...
