Issue found using a prototype static analysis tool\nand code review.","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-401"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5d63aa38d5ca85206d9699ffdd616b58780dba07","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5fc3d921512d31839227a2d22a2990de02acefeb","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7bedc489611f01634cec20f88f961a1f08e8d935","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9478aa5b39e986d45fafe279c24d3546783c22b1","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ff49eba595df500e4ddccc593088c8a4ab5f2c27"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-22T16:41:11.231219466+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-53113","score":0.00121,"percentile":0.01901,"date":"2026-10-25"},"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).
