Threat Intelligence
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. Check out the EPSS documentation for more details.

Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Buffer Overflow in the pin_job process. An attacker can access unintended physical memory and cause system instability by submitting jobs to the GPU render node that trigger improper error handling in memory mapping operations. This can result in information disclosure, unintended memory writes, and denial of service through kernel panics or GPU hangs.
Note: The Linux kernel project assigns a CVE to every bug fix it ships, whether or not the bug has been shown to be exploitable. This advisory was generated from that process and has not been individually assessed for exploitability. See the kernel's CVE process documentation: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/process/cve.rst
