Score 8.4 from GitHub Security Advisory (severity: HIGH) published 2026-09-16. A secondary CVSS source baseline 8.4; sources differ by 0.0.
No fix is confirmed yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for the fix.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpuidle: dt_idle_genpd: kfree() the original name allocation
dt_idle_pd_alloc() kasprintf()s the full node path, then points pd->name at kbasename() of that string. dt_idle_pd_free() kfree()s pd->name, which is no longer the start of the allocation.
Copy the basename instead.
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).
CISA SSVCTrack at low or medium mission impact; Track or Attend at high (mission-essential systems).
No fix is confirmed yet. Restrict network exposure of the affected system or apply the vendor's mitigation within your standard update timelines at low or medium mission impact and sooner than that at high, and watch the vendor's advisory for the fix.
Exploitation none (no KEV listing, exploit record or EPSS ≥ 50%) · Automatable unknown (not published for this CVE) · Technical impact partial (CVSS below 9.0). Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it: high means the affected system is essential to your organisation's mission, or its compromise could cause irreversible harm to people.
