Last modified
CVE-2026-46142 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: libwx: fix VF illegal register access Register WX_CFG_PORT_ST is a PF restricted register. When a VF is initialized, attempting to read this register triggers an illegal register access, which lead to a system hang. When the device is VF, the bus function ID can be obtained directly from the PCI_FUNC(pdev->devfn).. EPSS estimates a 0.13% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
