Luckily, we don't seem to pass\nany other vmalloc'd buffers in smb_rqst::rq_iov...\n\nInstead, let's map the correct pages and offsets from vmalloc buffers\nas well in cifs_sg_set_buf() and then avoiding such oopses.","published":"2025-09-16T17:15:34.000Z","lastModified":"2026-08-04T10:18:12.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":5.5,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},"cwe":[],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.0011,"percentile":0.01247,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.11%).
