Linux Kernel Use of Uninitialized Resource Vulnerability — The Linux kernel contains a use of uninitialized resource vulnerability that allows an attacker to leak kernel memory via a specially crafted HID report. Listed in the CISA KEV catalog (added 2025-03-04) — confirmed exploited in the wild, not theoretical. FIRST EPSS puts the chance of exploitation in the next 30 days at ~1%. Treat it as real and prioritize remediation over triage.
- 0
Required action for Linux Kernel: Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable. CISA set a federal remediation due date of 2025-03-25. After patching, verify the vulnerable path is no longer reachable before closing the finding.
