Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed

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 26 Oct 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.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, 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.

AI-suggested

A fix has been implemented in the Linux kernel to address this issue by adding the missing reset operations in the airoha_qdma_cleanup_tx_queue() function. Users should update to the patched kernel version once available. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed in the provided data; therefore, check the official Linux kernel advisories or vendor updates for the exact fixed versions and remediation guidance.

Description

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's airoha network driver was resolved by adding missing reset operations in the airoha_qdma_cleanup_tx_queue() function. This fix ensures that DMA TX descriptors and the TX_DMA_IDX index are properly reset, similar to the existing cleanup for RX queues. The update notifies the NIC that the QDMA TX ring is empty, addressing a potential issue in the transmission queue cleanup process.
