So rather than warn\nabout us doing bad things, stop doing the bad things and return -EIO.\n\nWhile at it, also fix a memory leak that was introduced by an earlier\nfix for a similar syzbot warning situation, and add a check for one case\nthat historically wasn't handled at all (ie neither comment nor\nsubsequent WARN_ON).","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/45917be9f0af339a45b4619f31c902d37b8aed59","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/82725be426bce0a425cc5e26fbad61ffd29cff03","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/90e019006644dad35862cb4aa270f561b0732066","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/be01f35efa876eb81cebab2cb0add068b7280ef4","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cb7a95af78d29442b8294683eca4897544b8ef46"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:18:08.089039631+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2023-54130","score":0.00166,"percentile":0.05838,"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).
