So it is needed to mark that\nthe timer is done at the end of the timer handler when it has not been\nrescheduled, not to call sk_stop_timer_sync() on \"itself\".","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/1f26487e83e69462540bb1047139472957c913c6","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/531c537b8fb620beabccfb1594e8d43cbebbb87a","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5da972efed3dc7599da6e2b5e8d906d1b7b1a728","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6a3af482188f6db4186d1605f64d911d7330abb3","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8143a224785ceaf2b0856e08d4498916f38228fb"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:36:28.938604137+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-46170","score":0.00128,"percentile":0.02435,"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).
