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 address this issue by changing the handling of prelocked objects. Users should apply the official kernel updates that include this fix once available. No additional mitigation steps are indicated.

Description

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's drm/exec subsystem involves improper handling of prelocked objects during contention. The drm_exec object may hold the last reference to a prelocked object that is about to be destroyed, leading to the object never being explicitly locked or reserved for dma_fence slots. This can cause warnings or kernel BUG_ON() errors, potentially leading to memory corruption. The issue is fixed by deferring adding the prelocked object to the array of locked objects until explicitly referenced again by the driver.
