Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-15 06:32 – Updated: 2026-08-17 06:33

Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

vdpa/octeon_ep: fix IRQ-to-ring mapping in interrupt handler

Look up the IRQ index in oct_hw->irqs instead of assuming irq - irqs[0]. This supports non-contiguous IRQ numbers and avoids incorrect ring indexing when irqs[0] is not the base.

Severity

10.0 (Critical)
