An\nidle poll therefore reports a full budget and remains scheduled.\n\nReturn the number of received packets instead. Preserve the existing\nfree queue refill accounting by adding that count directly; continuing\nto subtract it from the budget would invert the refill behavior.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0ef8eaef5806c84db2334111d6f299c246a592bc","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4ca84049c6428c665ef7c903a32a99ed0f1e01e9","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/631c47e2e1154f2741c555b91df1b8cb99294c6a","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/94e06e12a376710587cfeea481b65e7c49747003","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a0de06d0da78a3db53de65dfd7452cc6d111f703"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:56:02.509636177+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-97982","score":0.00176,"percentile":0.0712,"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).
