Threat Intelligence
The probability is the direct output of the EPSS model, and conveys an overall sense of the threat of exploitation in the wild. The percentile measures the EPSS probability relative to all known EPSS scores. Note: This data is updated daily, relying on the latest available EPSS model version. Check out the EPSS documentation for more details.

Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE) in the sk_psock_verdict_data_ready process. An attacker can achieve arbitrary code execution and kernel memory corruption by sending specially crafted TLS traffic to a vulnerable socket configured with BPF sockmap verdict and kTLS RX. This is only exploitable if a socket is inserted into a sockmap before TLS RX is configured, allowing a remote attacker to trigger use-after-free conditions in the kernel.
Note: The Linux kernel project assigns a CVE to every bug fix it ships, whether or not the bug has been shown to be exploitable. This advisory was generated from that process and has not been individually assessed for exploitability. See the kernel's CVE process documentation: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/process/cve.rst
