CVE-2019-17052

16
FAUCET Score

CVE-2019-17052 is a low-severity vulnerability affecting the AF_AX25 network module in the Linux kernel (versions 3.16 through 5.3.2), including distributions like Canonical, Debian, and Fedora. It allows unprivileged users to create a raw socket due to a missing CAP_NET_RAW enforcement in the ax25_create function. The attack vector is local with low complexity, and the potential impact is limited to low integrity, with no confidentiality or availability impact. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage surrounding this CVE.
