CVE-2015-9289 describes a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Linux kernel, specifically within the drivers/media/dvb-frontends/cx24116.c component, affecting versions prior to 4.1.4. This flaw arises from insufficient validation of userspace parameters, allowing DiSEqC command sizes to exceed the intended maximum of 6 bytes. The vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 score of 5.5 (Medium), indicating a local attack vector with low complexity, requiring low privileges, and potentially leading to high confidentiality impact. Its EPSS score is very low, suggesting a minimal likelihood of exploitation in the wild. There is no evidence of active exploitation, nor are there publicly available exploit modules in Metasploit, Nuclei, or ExploitDB. Community discussion and media coverage are also absent, indicating a low level of public attention.
