An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 3.16 through 5.5.6. set_fdc in drivers/block/floppy.c leads to a wait_til_ready out-of-bounds read because the FDC index is not checked for errors before assigning it, aka CID-2e90ca68b0d2.

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.73%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
