CVE-2026-31441
Last modified
CVE-2026-31441 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dmaengine: idxd: Fix memory leak when a wq is reset idxd_wq_disable_cleanup() which is called from the reset path for a workqueue, sets the wq type to NONE, which for other parts of the driver mean that the wq is empty (all its resources were released). Only set the wq type to NONE after its resources are released.. EPSS estimates a 0.12% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
