Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 6 Oct 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 2026-10-26.

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 SUSE to 5.14.0-570.51.2.el9_6.

AI-suggested

A security update is available from Red Hat for affected kernel packages in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 and related distributions. Users should apply the update as described in the Red Hat advisory RHSA-2025:17377 and reboot their systems to ensure the fixes take effect. No additional mitigation steps are indicated by the vendor.

Description

Multiple security vulnerabilities have been identified and fixed in the Linux kernel packages used by Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 and related distributions. These include a slab-out-of-bounds vulnerability in key_task_permission (CVE-2024-50301), an issue in KVM x86/hyper-v handling of non-canonical addresses during PV TLB flush (CVE-2025-38351), and a flaw in the ath12k wifi driver related to RX peer fragment setup error handling (CVE-2025-39761). The update addresses these issues to improve kernel security. The update requires a system reboot to take effect.

Impact

The vulnerabilities could potentially lead to out-of-bounds memory access (CVE-2024-50301), improper handling of memory addresses in virtualization environments (CVE-2025-38351), and incorrect error handling in wifi driver operations (CVE-2025-39761). These issues may affect system stability or security, but no known exploits in the wild have been reported. The overall security impact is rated as moderate.

CWE-125Out-of-bounds Read (opens in a new tab)
Base weaknessCWE Top 25 (2025): #8
The product reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
Implementation · Input Validation
Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation strategy, i.e., use a list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to specifications, or transform it into something that does.
Architecture and Design · Language Selection
Use a language that provides appropriate memory abstractions.

Class weaknessLikelihood of exploit: MediumOWASP Top 10 A10:2025: Mishandling of Exceptional Conditions (opens in a new tab)
The product does not check or incorrectly checks for unusual or exceptional conditions that are not expected to occur frequently during day to day operation of the product.
Requirements · Language Selection
Use a language that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Implementation
Check the results of all functions that return a value and verify that the value is expected.
Implementation
If using exception handling, catch and throw specific exceptions instead of overly-general exceptions (CWE-396, CWE-397). Catch and handle exceptions as locally as possible so that exceptions do not propagate too far up the call stack (CWE-705). Avoid unchecked or uncaught exceptions where feasible (CWE-248).
