This counts\neach completed frame as NAPI work whether it was delivered or dropped,\nmatching the behavior of the vendor driver.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/27b5753077d1cfda5fe201d2ba602de76a9a09b1","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5754e0c0758805096ecfeaf4c1b146ad51ed246f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/58140f1cebb776d174dc6ff41c15401654a5b1ea","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/620b7184808b25cf58268856f892b9ba83c181fd","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9620e2ce9b5998ebbf157241f296f8ddb92285c2"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:56:02.509636177+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-97981","score":0.00176,"percentile":0.07119,"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).
