Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 13 Feb 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

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 5 Nov 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.

What to do

AI-suggested

Users of Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.12 are strongly advised to upgrade to version 4.12.73 or later, which includes the security fixes. The vendor provides detailed upgrade instructions and release notes to assist with applying the update. No alternative mitigations or workarounds are specified, so applying the official update is the recommended course of action.

Description

Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.12.73 includes important security updates addressing two vulnerabilities: CVE-2024-12085, an information leak via uninitialized stack contents in rsync, and CVE-2024-53104, a kernel media driver issue in uvcvideo related to parsing undefined frame types. These fixes are part of a bug fix and security update for on-premise or private cloud deployments of OpenShift Container Platform 4.12. Users are advised to upgrade to the updated packages and images provided in this release.

Impact

The vulnerabilities fixed in this update could lead to information leakage (CVE-2024-12085) and potential kernel-level issues related to media frame parsing (CVE-2024-53104). While the exact exploitation impact is not detailed, information leaks can expose sensitive data, and kernel driver flaws can affect system stability or security. Red Hat rates the overall security impact of this update as Important, indicating a significant but not critical risk.

Summary

This advisory covers security fixes in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.12.73. The first vulnerability, CVE-2024-12085, involves an information leak caused by uninitialized stack contents in the rsync utility. The second, CVE-2024-53104, is a kernel-level issue in the uvcvideo driver where frames of type UVC_VS_UNDEFINED are improperly parsed, potentially leading to security concerns. The update addresses these issues by applying patches to the affected components. The advisory references official Red Hat documentation for upgrade instructions and provides image digests for verification. The update is rated as having an important security impact by Red Hat Product Security.

CWE-908Use of Uninitialized Resource (opens in a new tab)
Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: Medium
The product uses or accesses a resource that has not been initialized.
Implementation
Explicitly initialize the resource before use. If this is performed through an API function or standard procedure, follow all required steps.
Implementation
Pay close attention to complex conditionals that affect initialization, since some branches might not perform the initialization.
Implementation
Avoid race conditions (CWE-362) during initialization routines.
From MITRE CWE, MITRE CAPEC and OWASP (Top 10, OpenCRE).
CWE-787Out-of-bounds Write (opens in a new tab)
Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #5
The product writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
Requirements · Language Selection
Use a language that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Operation · Build and Compilation · Environment Hardening
Use automatic buffer overflow detection mechanisms that are offered by certain compilers or compiler extensions. Examples include: the Microsoft Visual Studio /GS flag, Fedora/Red Hat FORTIFY_SOURCE GCC flag, StackGuard, and ProPolice, which provide various mechanisms including canary-based detection and range/index…
