CVE-2026-31523

In the Linux kernel NVMe PCI driver, CVE-2026-31523 is a race condition: a running change to the polled queue count can create a brief window during reset where a hipri task poll occurs before queue maps are updated, risking double completions when the interrupt-driven path takes over. The issue ...
