The probability is the direct output of the EPSS model, and conveys an overall sense of the threat of exploitation in the wild. The percentile measures the EPSS probability relative to all known EPSS scores. Note: This data is updated daily, relying on the latest available EPSS model version.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched_ext: Take cgroup_lock() first in scx_cgroup_lock()
scx_cgroup_lock() write-locks scx_cgroup_ops_rwsem and then takes cgroup_lock(), which can deadlock through kernfs:
scx enable/disable cgroup rmdir cpu.weight write
cgroup_lock()
percpu_down_write(rwsem) cgroup_lock() kernfs_get_active() percpu_down_read(rwsem) kernfs_drain()
The enable path waits for the rmdir to release cgroup_mutex. The rmdir, deactivating the cpu controller's files, waits in kernfs_drain() for the write's active reference. The write, in scx_group_set_weight(), waits for the rwsem behind the pending writer.
Take cgroup_lock() first. The set_* paths take no cgroup locks inside the read side, so a pending write-lock then only waits for read sections that always run to completion, and no dependency from the rwsem back to cgroup_mutex remains.
