The build\nhelper can fail and return NULL or an ERR_PTR, but the result was passed\nto aa_label_is_unconfined_subset() before the existing IS_ERR_OR_NULL()\ncheck.\n\nReuse the existing target-label build failure handling immediately after\nthe build. This preserves the current audit handling while preventing the\nsubset helper from dereferencing an invalid label.","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:N/A:H","score":7.1},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/31cb109db5e6322ed22304fd5c0dedbaa438d6d3","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a29f06db44b4c94597ded58f639eed3e21781ac3","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a58cafd38b46fb1a2220e2fbbcfe291ea75fa147","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b7c45c05a396a017c49ac7949de240a0dfc0ac4e","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cfc224866530a6842b6c2d2d30ef6a9b0e64bb9c"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:48:17.459049833+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-72460","score":0.00126,"percentile":0.02248,"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).
