Score 5.5 from GitHub Security Advisory published 2026-05-08. NVD baseline CVSS 5.5; sources differ by 0.0.
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: f_subset: Fix unbalanced refcnt in geth_free
geth_alloc() increments the reference count, but geth_free() fails to decrement it. This prevents the configuration of attributes via configfs after unlinking the function.
Decrement the reference count in geth_free() to ensure proper cleanup.
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).
