Score 7.8 from GitHub Security Advisory (severity: HIGH) published 2026-08-15. a secondary CVSS source baseline 7.8; 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:
RDMA/mlx5: Fix undefined shift of user RQ WQE size
set_rq_size() computes the RQ WQE size as "1 << rq_wqe_shift" based on the user-provided rq_wqe_shift, which is only checked to be greater than 32, so shifts of 32 are still accepted. A shift of 31 also overflows a signed integer, leading to undefined behavior.
Use check_shl_overflow() to compute the RQ WQE size and reject any invalid values.
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).
