Score 5.5 from GitHub Security Advisory published 2025-09-15. NVD baseline CVSS 5.5; sources differ by 0.0.
A fix is available — apply it.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm,hugetlb: take hugetlb_lock before decrementing h->resv_huge_pages
The h->*_huge_pages counters are protected by the hugetlb_lock, but alloc_huge_page has a corner case where it can decrement the counter outside of the lock.
This could lead to a corrupted value of h->resv_huge_pages, which we have observed on our systems.
Take the hugetlb_lock before decrementing h->resv_huge_pages to avoid a potential race.
EG Risk is EchelonGraph's 0–100 priority score: it fuses intrinsic severity with real-world exploitation and automatability so you can rank equal-severity CVEs and fix the most dangerous first. Higher = act sooner. Distinct from the 0–10 EG Score (severity).
CISA SSVCTrack at low or medium mission impact; Track or Attend at high (mission-essential systems).
A fix is available. Apply it within your standard update timelines at low or medium mission impact and sooner than that at high.
Exploitation none (no KEV listing, exploit record or EPSS ≥ 50%) · Automatable unknown (not published for this CVE) · Technical impact partial (CVSS below 9.0). Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it: high means the affected system is essential to your organisation's mission, or its compromise could cause irreversible harm to people.
