CVE-2026-23250 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xfs: check return value of xchk_scrub_create_subord Fix this function to return NULL instead of a mangled ENOMEM, then fix the callers to actually check for a null pointer and return ENOMEM. Most of the corrections here are for code merged between 6.2 and 6.10.. EPSS estimates a 0.12% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
