In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: EDAC/igen6: Fix call trace due to missing release() When unloading the igen6_edac driver, there is a call trace: Device '(null)' does not have a release() function, it is broken and must be fixed. See Documentation/core-api/kobject.rst. WARNING: drivers/base/core.c:2567 at device_release+0x84/0x90, CPU#5: rmmod/127209 ... RIP: 0010:device_release+0x84/0x90 Call Trace: <TASK> kobject_put+0x8c/0x220 put_device+0x17/0x30 igen6_unregister_mcis+0xa2/0xe0 [igen6_edac] igen6_remove+0x82/0xb0 [igen6_edac] ... Fix the call trace by providing empty release() functions for the memory controller devices.

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.
How the score was calculated
  • EPSS 0.2% (30-day exploitation probability)+2

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

Remediation

Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

  1. Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Linux Linux).
  2. No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
  3. Search available logs for exploit probes, errors and authentication anomalies.

Affected scope

Vendor, product and versions as the sources word them.
