The exploit probability is not reported, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA\u2019s KEV catalog, suggesting a lower likelihood of widespread exploitation. The attack vector is local; an attacker must have an account on the host and may already have ordinary user privileges. Once the unprivileged user invokes the mis\u2011authorized D\u2011Bus calls, the firewall state can be altered immediately, potentially exposing services to the outside world or bypassing security policies."}}}}, "created": "2026-03-27T09:22:09.308205+00:00", "updated": "2026-03-30T07:59:51.106168+00:00", "vendors": ["redhat", "redhat$PRODUCT$enterprise_linux", "redhat$PRODUCT$firewalld", "redhat$PRODUCT$openshift_container_platform"]}
