In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RISC-V: Make port I/O string accessors actually work Fix port I/O string accessors such as `insb', `outsb', etc. which use the physical PCI port I/O address rather than the corresponding memory mapping to get at the requested location, which in turn breaks at least accesses made by our parport driver to a PCIe parallel port such as: PCI parallel port detected: 1415:c118, I/O at 0x1000(0x1008), IRQ 20 parport0: PC-style at 0x1000 (0x1008), irq 20, using FIFO [PCSPP,TRISTATE,COMPAT,EPP,ECP] causing a memory access fault: Unable to handle kernel access to user memory without uaccess routines at virtual address 0000000000001008 Oops [#1] Modules linked in: CPU: 1 PID: 350 Comm: cat Not tainted 6.0.0-rc2-00283-g10d4879f9ef0-dirty #23 Hardware name: SiFive HiFive Unmatched A00 (DT) epc : parport_pc_fifo_write_block_pio+0x266/0x416 ra : parport_pc_fifo_write_block_pio+0xb4/0x416 epc : ffffffff80542c3e ra : ffffffff80542a8c sp : ffffffd88899fc60 gp : ffffffff80fa2700 tp : ffffffd882b1e900 t0 : ffffffd883d0b000 t1 : ffffffffff000002 t2 : 4646393043330a38 s0 : ffffffd88899fcf0 s1 : 0000000000001000 a0 : 000000000000

What it means for a small business

Linux is on the computers, phones or browsers your team uses every day. Turn on automatic updates and restart: most of these fixes only take effect after a restart.

How likely is an attack? The Exploit Prediction Scoring System, run by FIRST (the global association of security response teams), puts the odds of this one being exploited in the next 30 days at 0.21%, higher than 10% of CVEs. That’s low, but low isn’t zero, and the odds jump the day someone publishes an exploit. Scored October 29, 2026, updated daily.

Check your own setup

Website check: reads what your site runs from the outside (WordPress version, plugins it can see, old server software) and matches it against this database.
Server check: what your web server says about itself, and whether that version has known flaws.
