The reported path was manually inspected before sending this fix.\n\nCompile-tested with CONFIG_SUNGEM=y. Runtime testing was not performed\nbecause no sungem hardware is available.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/331c99029a1cee1111f82f63d15b3cdebefbd341","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/36dea2f639249460d13f6ca66b2a9064187cd34d","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a63eaf7605d1579cf3f551792e478cfaf5ac37d1","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b15a3cc68e2450aa0edd94a74a7bdd45fcc17dd9","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bc49e8746584564dba47d963d1916cc876fc6f6b"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:48:17.459049833+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-72406","score":0.00169,"percentile":0.06186,"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).
