In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
comedi: comedi_parport: deal with premature interrupt
Syzbot reported a general protection fault in
comedi_get_is_subdevice_running(), which was called from the interrupt
handler parport_interrupt() in the "comedi_parport" driver, but it
does not currently have a C reproducer for the problem. It's
probably due to a premature interrupt for one of two reasons:
- The driver sets up the interrupt handler before the comedi subdevices
used by the interrupt handler have been allocated, but does not
disable the interrupt in the parallel port's CTRL register first.
- The driver uses a user-supplied I/O port base address which Syzbot
would have supplied, but it might not be backed by real parallel port
hardware.
Change the initialization order in the driver's comedi "attach" handler
(parport_attach()) so that the hardware registers are initialized
before the interrupt handler is requested. This should prevent
premature interrupts occurring for real hardware.
Also add a test to the interrupt handler to ensure the comedi device is
fully attached and return early if it isn't.
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 2026-10-17). FIRST's exploitation probability, not an EchelonGraph model.
- Confirmed exploitation

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.
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
