In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/perf: fix preempt count underflow in fsl_emb_pmu_del
fsl_emb_pmu_del() unconditionally calls put_cpu_var(cpu_hw_events) at
the 'out:' label, but only calls the matching get_cpu_var() after the
'i < 0' early-return check. When event->hw.idx is negative the
function jumps to 'out:' without having taken get_cpu_var(), and the
trailing put_cpu_var() then issues an unmatched preempt_enable(),
underflowing preempt_count.
On a CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernel preempt_count would underflow and
eventually present as a 'scheduling while atomic' BUG.
Move put_cpu_var() to pair with get_cpu_var() so the percpu access is
correctly bracketed and the 'out:' label only handles perf_pmu_enable.
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 2026-10-29). 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.

- No SSVC decision: EchelonGraph has not assessed this CVECISA BOD 26-04: 14 days if the affected system is publicly exposed; Fix on system upgrade if it is not.Each input and its source: the BOD 26-04 block below.
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
