In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md: avoid repeated calls to del_gendisk
There is a uaf problem which is found by case 23rdev-lifetime:
Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdead000000000122

The sequence is:
- rdev remove path gets reconfig_mutex
- rdev remove path release reconfig_mutex in mddev_unlock
- md stop calls do_md_stop and sets MD_DELETED
- rdev remove path calls del_gendisk because MD_DELETED is set
- md stop path release reconfig_mutex and calls del_gendisk again
So there is a race condition we should resolve. This patch adds a
flag MD_DO_DELETE to avoid the race condition.
What the EG score is made of (scorer v4.0: the three questions the 0–10 score mixes, published apart · methodology)
- EG Severity
- Not assessed: no CVSS publishedA missing CVSS is not a severity of zero.
- EG Likelihood
- 0.2% within 30 daysSource: FIRST EPSS (model v2026.06.15, score date 2026-10-24). FIRST's exploitation probability, not an EchelonGraph model.
- Confirmed exploitation
- None on record (CISA KEV, EG-KEV Tier 1)Reported apart from the likelihood: an observed fact, not a probability.

BOD 26-04 (CISA's remediation timeline, Table 1)14 days if the affected system is publicly exposed; Fix on system upgrade if it is not.
The score's inputs: In CISA KEV no (CISA's KEV catalog) · Automatable no (CISA's BOD 26-04 default) · Technical impact total (CISA's BOD 26-04 default). Where an input reads “CISA's BOD 26-04 default”, no one has published it for this CVE, and CISA's implementation guidance says: “If “Automatable” and “Technical Impact” information items about a CVE ID are not available and the CVE ID is not in the KEV Catalog, CISA will treat its values as “no” and “total,” respectively, until CISA or a third party provides metadata about the CVE ID. CISA will always provide the Vulnrichment data for a CVE ID listed in the KEV Catalog.” Whether your system is publicly exposed is yours to answer. BOD 26-04 binds US Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies; for anyone else it is CISA's published timeline, a reference rather than an obligation. The directive · how EchelonGraph applies it
