CVE-2026-97523
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: close race between scheduler and state change
The mptcp scheduler may race with subflow sockets state change: data transmission on the selected socket may fail and a later release could try to use mss_now reset to 0 for a divide operation.
Address the issue by explicitly checking for the critical scenario.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
- Puntuación base: 7.5
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.67%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 50
- Fecha de la puntuación: 5/10/2026
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).
