A follow-up commit\n55cef78c244d (\"macvlan: add forgotten nla_policy for\nIFLA_MACVLAN_BC_CUTOFF\") fixed the missing nla_policy entry but still\ndid not fix the size calculation.","published":"2026-06-24T17:17:13.000Z","lastModified":"2026-07-14T17:39:50.000Z","status":"Analyzed","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":0.00122,"percentile":0.01952,"date":"2026-10-27","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 (0.12%).
