With a limit of 1000 scan\nresults, a frame size upper bound of 4096 (really it's\nmore like ~2300) and a TBTT entry size of at least 11,\nwe get an upper bound for the number of ~372k, well in\nthe bounds of a u32.","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":["CWE-835"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2ac15e5a8f42fed5d90ed9e1197600913678c50f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2ccd5badadab2d586e91546bf5af3deda07fef1f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7245012f0f496162dd95d888ed2ceb5a35170f1a","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cde8a7eb5c6762264ff0f4433358e0a0d250c875","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fc621e7a043de346c33bd7ae7e2e0c651d6152ef"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:57:34.731061660+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2024-53055","score":0.00259,"percentile":0.17698,"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).
