CVE-2026-80688: riscv: drop __init from vec_check_unaligned_access_speed_all_cpus

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 0/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.20% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 01bd01b61ad9ea917e5629a7f14f57a8af0543bb, 25f228e6ac573884a3d7078cc2b3312b8db59eea, 6.14.
  • Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 01bd01b61ad9ea917e5629a7f14f57a8af0543bb, 25f228e6ac573884a3d7078cc2b3312b8db59eea, 6.14 or later.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: riscv: drop __init from vec_check_unaligned_access_speed_all_cpus This function runs within a kthread and need not necessarily finish before system finishes boot and free_initmem() unmaps the .init.text section. This function makes calls to SBI for probing unaligned access speed, and if this is slow for some reason (say some debug prints were added to SBI), the kthread can still be running at this point and result in an instruction page fault when trying to fetch from the freed region.

Exploit status

No known public exploit

No public exploit has been observed yet. That doesn't mean you're safe, only that the bar is a little higher.

Research context

For pentesters and researchers: attack profile, score disagreement, timeline, patch commits, credits, variant and chain candidates, bug bounty scope. All derived from existing data; no exploit code.

Timeline

From publication to today: proof of concept, Metasploit module, CISA KEV and fix record. Dates are as reported by the sources.

No dated events beyond publication.

EPSS, last 120 days

FIRST EPSS daily score; only changes of 0.01 or more are recorded (step chart).

Patch and commit links

Commit, PR and diff links among the references. A starting point for patch-diffing and variant hunting; fixes, not exploits.

No commit or PR link among the references.

Credits

All researchers

Finders, reporters and analysts named in the CNA record. Click a name for that researcher’s other records.

No credits in the CNA record.

Variant candidates

Same product, same weakness class, within 18 months. If the patch missed the root cause, the sibling bug is here.

No nightly-computed relations.

Chain candidates

An authentication bypass and a privilege-requiring bug in the same product, published close together: combined they may become an unauthenticated path.
