On 64-bit systems,\na value > UINT_MAX is silently truncated when stored.\n\nFix the mismatch by using kstrtouint() instead. This rejects values larger\nthan UINT_MAX at parse time, making truncation impossible. Also add a check\nfor value < 1 to reject the 0-delay case, which would cause the poll work to\nspin without delay and consume 100% CPU.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0e022ee4f8e0dc843ba4c80bb75408a7704279af","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/528052af901d6e6bbfa0e52362a70a58a5dd1e43","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/541fc6f733b32463cf23277637bb07e2aaa00b53","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/656e2fe98ac452db4e5b8147d1f33b8c35b4ec4b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/66cc9dec919dd63d8e4b3d386f7aed3ae684e645"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-21T03:56:58.798400159+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-98157","score":0.00115,"percentile":0.01512,"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).
