In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: PCI: endpoint: Fix swapped parameters in pci_{primary/secondary}_epc_epf_unlink() functions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: PCI: endpoint: Fix swapped parameters in pci_{primary/secondary}_epc_epf_unlink() functions struct configfs_item_operations callbacks are defined like the following: int (*allow_link)(struct config_item *src, struct config_item *target); void (*drop_link)(struct config_item *src, struct config_item *target); While pci_primary_epc_epf_link() and pci_secondary_epc_epf_link() specify the parameters in the correct order, pci_primary_epc_epf_unlink() and pci_secondary_epc_epf_unlink() specify the parameters in the wrong order, leading to the below kernel crash when using the unlink command in configfs: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0000000300000857 Mem abort info: ... pc : string+0x54/0x14c lr : vsnprintf+0x280/0x6e8 ... string+0x54/0x14c vsnprintf+0x280/0x6e8 vprintk_default+0x38/0x4c vprintk+0xc4/0xe0 pci_epf_unbind+0xdc/0x108 configfs_unlink+0xe0/0x208+0x44/0x74 vfs_unlink+0x120/0x29c __arm64_sys_unlinkat+0x3c/0x90 invoke_syscall+0x48/0x134 do_el0_svc+0x1c/0x30prop.0+0xd0/0xf0 [mani: cced stable, changed commit message as per https://lore.kernel.or

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 0.12%, higher than 2% 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.
