CVE-2013-6282

Published: September 15, 2022

EPSS:67.65%probability of exploitation in 30 daysPercentile:98.5th

Official Description

The get_user and put_user API functions of the Linux kernel fail to validate the target address when being used on ARM v6k/v7 platforms. This allows an application to read and write kernel memory which could lead to privilege escalation.

CISA KEV Advisory

Linux Kernel Improper Input Validation Vulnerability

Added to KEV: 2022-09-15Federal patch deadline: 2022-10-06

Required Action (CISA)

Apply updates per vendor instructions.

Risk Analysis

The Linux kernel's get_user and put_user API functions on ARM v6k/v7 platforms fail to validate target addresses, allowing applications to read and write kernel memory, which can lead to privilege escalation. The high EPSS score of 0.67650 indicates a high likelihood of exploitation, and its presence in CISA's KEV confirms active exploitation.

This vulnerability is actively exploited in the wild, as confirmed by its inclusion in CISA's KEV. Exploitation requires a local application.

Recommended Action

Linux kernel users on ARM v6k/v7 platforms should update their systems to a patched kernel version. Ensure that only trusted applications are run on these systems.

Generated by the CTIWATCH analysis pipeline from this CVE's metadata (CVSS, EPSS, KEV status, exploit intelligence). Verify against vendor advisories before acting.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2013-6282 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.

Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

CISA has added CVE-2013-6282 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, confirming active exploitation in the wild. U.S. federal agencies are required to patch this within the mandated timeframe, and all organizations should treat remediation as urgent.
