In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet: pci-epf: put CQ ref on create_cq mapping failure
nvmet_pci_epf_create_cq() calls nvmet_cq_create(), which takes a
reference on the controller and installs the completion queue. If the
subsequent PCI address-space mapping fails or returns a too-small partial
mapping, the function jumps to err_internal / err_unmap_queue without
calling nvmet_cq_put(). The matching put in nvmet_pci_epf_delete_cq() is
gated on NVMET_PCI_EPF_Q_LIVE, which is only set after the mapping
succeeds, so teardown never releases these references. A remote PCI host
that drives Create IO CQ commands with a failing PRP1/pci_addr therefore
leaks the CQ and a controller reference on each attempt.
Drop the CQ reference on the mapping-failure paths. The err_internal and
err_unmap_queue labels are only reachable after nvmet_cq_create() has
succeeded, so this pairs the create/put correctly.
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 2026-10-24). 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
