CVE-2026-97421
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/umem: Be careful about boundary conditions in ib_umem_find_best_pgsz()
Several corner cases, especially important on 32 bits:
- umem->iova is u64, the function argument should pass in u64 or iova will be truncated - Check that the length is not too large for the iova - Check that lengths > 4G don't overflow the GENMASK
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).
