CVE-2026-90285
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qla2xxx: Remove redundant VPD flash read in sysfs read path
qla2x00_sysfs_read_vpd() called ha->isp_ops->read_optrom() a second time after releasing optrom_mutex. The repeated read is redundant and, unlike the first, runs without optrom_mutex held, exposing flash access to concurrent optrom operations. Drop the duplicate call.
CVSS
NVD hasn't assigned a CVSS score to this CVE (common since the April 2026 policy change).
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.21%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 10
- Score date: 10/5/2026
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).
