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: 0.15% (FIRST EPSS).
- Fixed version: Linux Linux 0163b92946d0a7c816f619c57a4d9867954dd106, c2256c044a1df39c8aad4dd2d6f709b2533e2d7a.
- Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 0163b92946d0a7c816f619c57a4d9867954dd106, c2256c044a1df39c8aad4dd2d6f709b2533e2d7a or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/nouveau/dmem: fix callocated underflow on large folio split nouveau_dmem_folio_free() drops chunk->callocated once per freed folio, while a large (compound) device-private folio is only counted once when it is allocated. When such a folio is split, the mm core invokes ->folio_split() (nouveau_dmem_folio_split()) once for each new sub-folio, but the hook only fixes up the sub-folio metadata and leaves chunk->callocated unchanged. Each resulting sub-folio is later freed separately, so after a split the single allocation (+1) is met by N frees (-N), leaving chunk->callocated short by N-1. On the first split/free cycle it underflows: WARN_ON(!chunk->callocated) fires, the unsigned counter wraps and never returns to zero, so the chunk can no longer be reclaimed (nouveau_dmem_fini() also warns on the leaked count). Account for the new sub-folio in the split hook, under the same lock as nouveau_dmem_folio_free(), so the count stays balanced.
