In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
riscv: mm: Fix out-of-bounds page-table walk during memory hot-remove
remove_pud_mapping() and remove_p4d_mapping() obtain a child table base
with pud_offset(p4dp, 0) and p4d_offset(pgd, 0), then add the index for
addr.
RISC-V folds page-table levels at runtime. When a level is folded, its
offset helper returns the parent entry itself, but the index can still be
nonzero. Adding it walks past the parent table. Sv48 folds P4D, while Sv39
folds both P4D and PUD, so memory hot-remove can descend into unrelated
memory and pass an invalid page to __free_pages(). This can trigger:
kernel BUG at include/linux/mm.h:1810!
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_ref_count(page) == 0)
arch_remove_memory+0x1e/0x5c
try_remove_memory+0x15e/0x200
remove_memory+0x24/0x3c
Only add the index when the corresponding page-table level is enabled,
matching p4d_offset() and pud_offset().
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
- 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.
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
