CVE-2026-46168
Last modified
CVE-2026-46168 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mptcp: fix scheduling with atomic in timestamp sockopt Using lock_sock_fast() (atomic context) around sock_set_timestamp() and sock_set_timestamping() is unsafe, as both helpers can sleep. Replace lock_sock_fast() with sleepable lock_sock()/release_sock() to avoid scheduling while atomic panic.. EPSS estimates a 0.13% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
