resolved:\n\nEDAC/device_sysfs: Use kstrtouint() for poll_msec to prevent truncation\n\nThe poll_msec sysfs store file uses simple_strtoul() which accepts an unsigned\nlong, but the target field (poll_msec) is unsigned int. On 64-bit systems,\na value > UINT_MAX is silently truncated when stored.\n\nFix the mismatch by using kstrtouint() instead. This rejects values larger\nthan UINT_MAX at parse time, making truncation impossible. Also add a check\nfor value < 1 to reject the 0-delay case, which would cause the poll work to\nspin without delay and consume 100% CPU."}], "lastModified": "2026-10-20T17:30:40.097", "configurations": [{"nodes": [{"negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "B013E82E-88AE-4BEA-85ED-00174726C596", "versionEndExcluding": "5.10.271", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.23"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "71A72718-B484-4334-A55F-4AEF4DC98732", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.222", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "A08955FE-5938-4F5B-B6A0-BEA8BA740A26", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.189", "versionStartIncluding": "6.1"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "4F4B14AC-C632-4A61-9E23-076CC1A04CEA", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.158", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "25101E3A-E888-4430-B5C5-6D6BC4635597", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.111", "versionStartIncluding": "6.12"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "7561AABB-6D5A-4324-BC66-C6C6B012AFD8", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.53", "versionStartIncluding": "6.13"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "19917B2D-B4B2-4416-A482-9C7C4929A921", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.7", "versionStartIncluding": "6.19"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:7.3:rc1:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "11E35E1B-5DB4-4AB9-9706-CD73B799EADF"}], "operator": "OR"}]}], "sourceIdentifier": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67"}
