This is because segment registers with an arbitrary user value\ncan result in #GP when executing VERW. Intel SDM vol. 2C documents the\nfollowing behavior for VERW instruction:\n\n  #GP(0) - If a memory operand effective address is outside the CS, DS, ES,\n\t   FS, or GS segment limit.\n\nCLEAR_CPU_BUFFERS macro executes VERW instruction before returning to user\nspace. Use %cs selector to reference VERW operand. This ensures VERW will\nnot #GP for an arbitrary user %ds.\n\n[ mingo: Fixed the SOB chain. ]","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/38c5fe74f3bef98f75d16effa49836d50c9b6097","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/481b477ab63c7245715a3e57ba79eb87c2dc0d02","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ada431c6c31a2c8c37991c46089af5caa23a9c6e","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bc576fbaf82deded606e69a00efe9752136bf91d","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bfd1d223d80cb29a210caa1bd5e21f0816d58f02"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:56:33.105311382+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2024-50072","score":0.00232,"percentile":0.14086,"date":"2026-10-31"},"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).
