Therefore, a\npatch to resize the nilfs_type_by_mode array should be applied to prevent\nOOB errors.","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":["CWE-129"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/054f29e9ca05be3906544c5f2a2c7321c30a4243","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2382eae66b196c31893984a538908c3eb7506ff9","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7061c7efbb9e8f11ce92d6b4646405ea2b0b4de1","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/897ac5306bbeb83e90c437326f7044c79a17c611","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/90823f8d9ecca3d5fa6b102c8e464c62f416975f"],"products":["debian:debian_linux","linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:49:08.435428910+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2024-26981","score":0.00273,"percentile":0.19771,"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).
