It also\ntakes advantage of the workqueue element for cp_free() that now gets\ncalled out of fsm_notoper(), which could be invoked out of an interrupt\ncontext and thus cannot acquire a mutex itself.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.8},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2a5ac0c0f1f7da33929211a2e41911bf72ee35d8","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2ba9efdf9ebedc4e54df4b56aa3b43a65f7967cd","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/34f4feff3e90bd09308fad0974e97113b23b812a","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/56d7488533ceac4e986e96e15c9e487a2245bc01","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b6aecea4b2b246f9fbd98a5712daa1193a60818e"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:50:17.453294893+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-80548","score":0.00176,"percentile":0.07047,"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).
