Exploitation evidence

CVE published 28 Oct 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed

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 reject operator stack pushes when the stack is full, preventing out-of-bounds writes. Users should apply the official kernel updates that include this fix once available. Since this is a kernel-level issue, updating to the patched kernel version is the recommended mitigation.

Description

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel tracing subsystem involves improper checking of the operator stack capacity before pushing new entries. This flaw allows an out-of-bounds write beyond the operator stack when the stack pointer reaches the last allocated entry. The issue has been resolved by rejecting pushes that would exceed the stack capacity.
