Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 1 Jul 2025
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
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
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 30 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.
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.

AI-suggested

A patch is available and should be applied immediately by updating to the fixed Linux kernel versions listed in the Ubuntu advisory USN-7610-1. After updating, a system reboot is required to activate the fixes. Due to an ABI change, all third-party kernel modules must be recompiled and reinstalled. Users who have not removed standard kernel metapackages will have this handled automatically during the upgrade.

Description

Multiple security vulnerabilities were discovered in the Linux kernel affecting subsystems such as Netfilter and network traffic control. These flaws could potentially allow an attacker to compromise affected systems. The issues have been addressed in updated Linux kernel packages for various Ubuntu releases and flavors, including linux-gcp-6.11. Users must apply the updates and reboot their systems. Due to ABI changes, recompilation of third-party kernel modules may be necessary.

Impact

An attacker could potentially exploit these vulnerabilities to compromise the affected Linux systems. The exact impact details are not specified, but the advisory indicates the possibility of system compromise via flaws in critical kernel subsystems.

Summary

Several security issues were identified in the Linux kernel, specifically impacting the Netfilter and network traffic control subsystems. These vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to compromise the system. The issues are tracked under CVE identifiers including CVE-2025-37798 and others. Ubuntu has released patches fixing these vulnerabilities in kernel versions 6.11.0-1017.17~24.04.1 and 6.11.0-29.29~24.04.1 among others. The update requires a system reboot and recompilation of third-party kernel modules due to ABI changes. The vendor advisory is available at https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-7610-1.
