When AF and PF drivers\nare built as modules, the PF driver may probe before AF reinitializes\nthe hardware.\n\nThe PF driver treats the RVUM block revision as an indication that AF\ninitialization is complete. If this value is left uncleared at shutdown,\nPF may incorrectly assume AF is ready and access stale hardware state,\nleading to a crash.\n\nClear the RVUM block revision during AF shutdown to avoid PF\nmis-detecting AF readiness after kexec.","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/1370736836a18b5e0cd74bcc9cffe11d21f1fe79","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2d2d574309e3ae84ee794869a5da8b4c38753a94","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/57821d1436ba1c6a6973aa32d54166fdec35558c","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7d56ba306e93d04696718963fb4cda2883ee7585","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8b5ed7c5417b7013d35b6f2507dab739013ba1a9"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:37:48.043517290+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-46249","score":0.00115,"percentile":0.01505,"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).
