the trigger is an ordinary kernel log message being shipped by netconsole, and the remote packets that induce those messages are processed pre-authentication by the TCP/IP stack.\nUI:N - No victim action is needed \u2014 netconsole emits on every printk automatically, so the attacker's own traffic completes the trigger without any local user or administrator doing anything.\nS:U - The faulting read and its consequences are confined to the kernel of the affected host; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:N - The defect is a read of a NULL pointer at a fixed small offset whose result is never returned to or observable by the attacker; nothing is disclosed.\nI:N - No write occurs and no attacker-controlled data is stored \u2014 the faulting access is a load, so no kernel state is modified.\nA:H - The NULL dereference occurs in netpoll/console context with interrupts disabled, producing a kernel oops that is generally fatal, and it re-fires on every subsequent log message, so the host is reliably taken down."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/efx_channels.c", "drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/siena/efx_channels.c"], "versions": [{"version": "401cb7dae8130fd34eb84648e02ab4c506df7d5e", "lessThan": "65d4fc76d75c136744e67754d20feda609e7b793", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "401cb7dae8130fd34eb84648e02ab4c506df7d5e", "lessThan": "55e802468e1d38dec8e25a2fdb6078d45b647e8c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/efx_channels.c", "drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/siena/efx_channels.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.11", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.11", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.11.4", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.11.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.11", "versionEndExcluding": "6.11.4"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.11", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/65d4fc76d75c136744e67754d20feda609e7b793"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/55e802468e1d38dec8e25a2fdb6078d45b647e8c"}], "title": "sfc: Don't invoke xdp_do_flush() from netpoll.", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}, "adp": [{"metrics": [{"cvssV3_1": {"scope": "UNCHANGED", "version": "3.1", "baseScore": 5.5, "attackVector": "LOCAL", "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H", "integrityImpact": "NONE", "userInteraction": "NONE", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "confidentialityImpact": "NONE"}}, {"other": {"type": "ssvc", "content": {"id": "CVE-2024-50094", "role": "CISA Coordinator", "options": [{"Exploitation": "none"}, {"Automatable": "no"}, {"Technical Impact": "partial"}], "version": "2.0.3", "timestamp": "2025-10-01T20:22:55.627667Z"}}}], "problemTypes": [{"descriptions": [{"lang": "en", "type": "CWE", "description": "CWE-noinfo Not enough information"}]}], "title": "CISA ADP Vulnrichment", "providerMetadata": {"orgId": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "shortName": "CISA-ADP", "dateUpdated": "2025-10-01T20:27:19.526Z"}}]}}
