Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 8 Jan 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: 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 2026-10-25.

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 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.

What to do

Upgrade redhat/kernel to 8.8.0-477.86.1.

AI-suggested

Red Hat has released an official security update for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 Extended Update Support that addresses these vulnerabilities. Users should apply the update as described in the Red Hat advisory (https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258) and reboot their systems to ensure the fixes are effective. No additional mitigation actions are indicated beyond applying the official patch and rebooting.

Description

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Security Fix(es): * kernel: gro: fix ownership transfer (CVE-2024-35890) * kernel: mptcp: cope racing subflow creation in mptcp_rcv_space_adjust (CVE-2024-53122) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Impact

The vulnerabilities could potentially allow improper handling of kernel operations related to network packet processing (GRO) and multipath TCP subflow creation, which may lead to system instability or other security issues. The exact impact details and exploitability are not specified in the advisory. The update is rated as important, indicating a significant security concern that warrants prompt remediation.

Summary

Red Hat Product Security issued an advisory (RHSA-2025:0062) for kernel security updates addressing two vulnerabilities: CVE-2024-35890 fixes an ownership transfer issue in the GRO component of the Linux kernel, and CVE-2024-53122 mitigates a race condition in the MPTCP subflow creation process. These vulnerabilities affect Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 Extended Update Support across multiple architectures including x86_64, s390x, ppc64le, and aarch64. The advisory rates the update as having an important security impact. The update requires a system reboot to apply the fixes. No CVSS scores are provided in the advisory, and no known exploits in the wild have been reported.
