Score 5.5 from GitHub Security Advisory published 2026-05-27. 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:
bpf: Limit bpf program signature size
Practical BPF signatures are significantly smaller than KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE
Allowing larger sizes opens the door for abuse by passing excessive size values and forcing the kernel into expensive allocation paths (via kmalloc_large or vmalloc).
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).
