In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dmaengine: xilinx: xdma: Fix regmap max_register The max_register field is assigned the size of the register memory region instead of the offset of the last register. The result is that reading from the regmap via debugfs can cause a segmentation fault: tail /sys/kernel/debug/regmap/xdma.1.auto/registers Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffff800082f70000 Mem abort info: ESR = 0x0000000096000007 EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits SET = 0, FnV = 0 EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 FSC = 0x07: level 3 translation fault [...] Call trace: regmap_mmio_read32le+0x10/0x30 _regmap_bus_reg_read+0x74/0xc0 _regmap_read+0x68/0x198 regmap_read+0x54/0x88 regmap_read_debugfs+0x140/0x380 regmap_map_read_file+0x30/0x48 full_proxy_read+0x68/0xc8 vfs_read+0xcc/0x310 ksys_read+0x7c/0x120 __arm64_sys_read+0x24/0x40 invoke_syscall.constprop.0+0x64/0x108 do_el0_svc+0xb0/0xd8 el0_svc+0x38/0x130 el0t_64_sync_handler+0x120/0x138 el0t_64_sync+0x194/0x198 Code: aa1e03e9 d503201f f9400000 8b214000 (b9400000) ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- note: tail[1217] exited with irqs disabled note: tail[121

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 0.20%, higher than 9% 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.
