XE_WARN_ON is kept\nto help root cause the issue, but we now bail instead of crashing the\ndriver.\n\nv2: Comment that triggering XE_WARN_ON is unexpected behavior (Matt Brost)\n\n(cherry picked from commit b9297d19d9df5d4b6c994648570c5dcd1cac68ff)","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3feeb667197bd58a17f4edfdbcad249ffcb3c864","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/78b1074966d290d4517f42bc81e13c4349368d12","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d94b9922b2ae5ee6e900f8da0bd537b251c6110c","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ff330ce16c846b70164ff0eb544c81219d4c5c08"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:48:17.459049833+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-72362","score":0.00209,"percentile":0.11037,"date":"2026-11-01"},"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).
