The helper returns the child's stashed skb first and is a no-op\nwhen there is none, so a work-conserving child is unaffected and the\ngated path now consumes the skb whose length was charged to the budget.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H","score":8.2},"cwes":["CWE-476"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/17ab5f76f3899f67e5569722f334591f4b88b17b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/18d580cb00c55805633bae45e90cf22ed6b8e424","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2dcebbd1ad2e180fe7b98bf346ced69a872e11e6","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/51f8af240aed903e988755af33d7491030b50ae9","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6ee5a7665a9080bcb05d703bf981a579436fd05e"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-21T03:56:58.798400159+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-72035","score":0.00589,"percentile":0.4786,"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).
