High (7.8). EPSS 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
A heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux Kernel ipvlan network driver can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation.
The out-of-bounds write is caused by missing skb->cb initialization in the ipvlan network driver. The vulnerability is reachable if CONFIG_IPVLAN is enabled.
We recommend upgrading past commit 90cbed5247439a966b645b34eb0a2e037836ea8e.
