EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.
Description
radvd is a router advertisement daemon for IPv6. Prior to version 2.21, the radvdump utility shipped with radvd contains a stack buffer overflow in the Route Information option parser. When processing a crafted ICMPv6 Router Advertisement, print_ff() copies up to 2032 bytes from attacker-controlled packet data into a 16-byte struct in6_addr on the stack, overflowing by up to 2016 bytes. Note that the main radvd daemon is not affected by the vulnerability. Version 2.21 patches the issue.
Affected Products
radvdradvd.litechDetection & mitigation playbook
Vendor / applianceDetect
Inventory every radvd.litech radvd deployment and check each version against the affected-products list above. Because the exploit targets the running system rather than your application code, also watch for remote code execution at the network and runtime layer — O3 flags the exploit behaviour from runtime telemetry and egress traffic even before a vulnerable build is confirmed.
Fix
Apply the radvd.litech radvd security patch or hotfix for CVE-2026-48715 on the affected version, following the vendor advisory for your exact build.
Workarounds
Cut exposure now: restrict the management/admin interface to trusted networks, segment the device, and apply the vendor's recommended configuration mitigations and any WAF/IPS signature. O3's runtime protection blocks the exploit chain at execution, holding the line on unpatched or end-of-life systems until you can patch.
How O3 protects you
O3 detects and blocks CVE-2026-48715 exploitation at runtime: eBPF exploit-chain detection, plus L7 egress monitoring that catches the post-exploitation callback and severs the attacker's outbound channel.
Tailored to CVE-2026-48715. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CVE-2026-48715 being exploited in your environment?
O3's eBPF runtime sensors and L7 egress monitoring detect and block the CVE-2026-48715 exploit chain at execution — protecting unpatched and end-of-life systems until the vendor patch is applied.
