Just for those who don't know: Every bug or issue in the Kernel is treated as a CVE. That's why the number seems to that high.

@thingsiplay @floofloof well, for example this CVE - https://lore.kernel.org/linux-cve-announce/2026071924-CVE-2026-64118-bbfe@gregkh/T/#u can be really serious if it can be combined with something additional.

It should be assigned with score 9 or more from 10. But not clear, if it can be exploitable. I would say it should be possible, and it should not be so difficult to exploit it.
