Avoid the problem by validating that wd is\nsensible (and pretend the mark got removed before the event got\ngenerated otherwise).","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/145f54ea336b06cf4f92eeee996f2ffca939ea43","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/17ad86d8c12220de97e80d88b5b4c934a40e1812","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2d65c97777e5b4a845637800d5d7b648f5772106","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8fb33166aed888769ea63d6af49515893f8a1f14","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a48bacee05860c6089c3482bcdc80720b0ee5732"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:18:08.089039631+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2023-54119","score":0.00214,"percentile":0.11769,"date":"2026-11-01"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
