Harmless on the success path\ntoo -- send_snl_sdreq() drains the list as it moves nodes, so it's\nalready empty by the time free_list runs.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/08d2c069239ab425fdd333784a6a3b3e034e4aa0","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0b01a946b0f234f5badd25968610b585a4895f08","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5b1eca82085134bd92cd3810b0ef003c91e3f668","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/66f4300206b82b0b143ef0d9be90cd8d29f23a47","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/755bfc409748d8f3df64eb0eb26926270de3dd77"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T23:00:53.604569364+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-98579","score":0.00216,"percentile":0.11949,"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).
