CVE-2019-9162

29
FAUCET Score

CVE-2019-9162 is an out-of-bounds read and write vulnerability in the Linux kernel's SNMP NAT module (net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_nat_snmp_basic_main.c) affecting versions before 4.20.12, including Canonical and NetApp products. This flaw, stemming from insufficient ASN.1 length checks, can lead to a system crash (OOPS) or local privilege escalation. With a CVSS score of 7.8 (High), it requires local access and low privileges to exploit, but has high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not listed in CISA's KEV catalog and lacking Metasploit or Nuclei modules, a public exploit (EDB-46477) exists, though there is minimal community discussion or media coverage surrounding this vulnerability.
