CVE-2025-48637 CVSS 7.8 HIGH

CVE-2025-48637

Published: 2025-12-08 17:16:20
Last Modified: 2025-12-11 15:15:48

Description

In multiple functions of mem_protect.c, there is a possible out of bounds write due to an integer overflow. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

Identify vulnerable syscall/ioctl interface * 2. Craft specific size/count values to trigger overflow * 3. Use heap grooming to control overflow target * 4. Overwrite function pointers or metadata * 5. Achieve arbitrary code execution as root * * Note: Modern kernel protections (SMEP, SMAP, KASLR, CFI) * may require additional bypass techniques. */
