Status: ReceivedUnscored—

Severity—Unscored

Exploitation probability0.17 %higher than 5% of CVEs

Active exploitationNonot in the CISA catalog

Public exploitNot knownno public code found

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

iio: adc: adi-axi-adc: Initialize state mutex

The AXI ADC register access paths serialize transactions with st->lock, but probe does not initialize it. Initialize the mutex before registering the backend.

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: 0.17 %
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 5
Score date: 10/20/2026

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).
