CVE-2026-53336
Status: AnalyzedMedium (5.5)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmem: layouts: onie-tlv: fix hang on unknown types
The EEPROM on my board has a vendor specific entry of type 0x41. When stumbling upon that, this driver hangs in an endless loop.
Fix it by keep incrementing the offset on unknown entries, so the loop will eventually stop.
CVSS
- Version: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
- Base score: 5.5
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.12%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 2
- Score date: 10/4/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
