CVE-2026-23156

Estado: AnalizadaAlta (7.8)—

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

efivarfs: fix error propagation in efivar_entry_get()

efivar_entry_get() always returns success even if the underlying __efivar_entry_get() fails, masking errors.

This may result in uninitialized heap memory being copied to userspace in the efivarfs_file_read() path.

Fix it by returning the error from __efivar_entry_get().

CVSS

Versión: 3.1
Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Puntuación base: 7.8

Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)

Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.13%
Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 2
Fecha de la puntuación: 6/10/2026

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
