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.

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: atm: cxacru: properly kill rcv_urb on error in cxacru_cm() If cxacru_cm() encounters an error while submitting or waiting for snd_urb, it aborts and returns the error without killing the already submitted rcv_urb. This leaves the rcv_urb active. When this happens during initialization (e.g., in cxacru_atm_start()), the driver may ignore the error and proceed to call cxacru_poll_status(), which invokes cxacru_cm() again. Attempting to submit the still-active rcv_urb triggers a warning in usb_submit_urb(): cxacru 1-1:1.0: send of cm 0x84 failed (-104) ATM dev 0: cxacru_atm_start: CHIP_ADSL_LINE_START returned -104 ------------[ cut here ]------------ URB ffff88812658d200 submitted while active WARNING: drivers/usb/core/urb.c:379 at usb_submit_urb+0x79/0x18b0 drivers/usb/core/urb.c:379 ... Call Trace: <TASK> cxacru_cm+0x21a/0xf10 drivers/usb/atm/cxacru.c:631 cxacru_cm_get_array drivers/usb/atm/cxacru.c:722 [inline] cxacru_poll_status+0x178/0x1110 drivers/usb/atm/cxacru.c:828 cxacru_atm_start+0x185/0x360 drivers/usb/atm/cxacru.c:814 usbatm_atm_init+0x144/0x3a0 drivers/usb/atm/usbatm.c:927 usbatm_usb_probe+0x15cb/0x1db0 drivers/usb/atm/usbatm.c:1178 cxacru_usb_probe+0x17f/0x220 drivers/usb/atm/cxacru.c:1370 ... To fix this, ensure that rcv_urb is properly killed if cxacru_cm() aborts early. We can safely call usb_kill_urb() on rcv_urb in the error path, as it is safe to call even if the URB is not active (e.g., if it failed to submit in the first place, or if it already completed).
