For profile display, when multiple public CVSS v3.1 and v4.0 base scores exist for the same CVE, the higher published base score is used. The CVSS version and scoring source are shown explicitly above.
Product-specific downstream distribution scores are not substituted for an upstream project score unless they represent the relevant public CVE assessment.
This table highlights selected public CVEs. The total CVE count includes additional published findings not listed here.

Systems, Kernel and Virtualization

CVE Vendor / Project Component Score CVSS Basis Severity / Class
CVE-2026-68326 Linux Kernel drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/uap_event.c 8.8 v3.1 · kernel.org CNA High · Slab out-of-bounds read
CVE-2026-63622 Red Hat / libvirt swtpm state handling 7.8 v3.1 · Red Hat High · Sandbox boundary privilege escalation
CVE-2026-68402 Linux Kernel net/wireless/scan.c / cfg80211 7.1 v3.1 · kernel.org CNA High · Slab out-of-bounds read
CVE-2026-63623 Red Hat / libvirt Storage volume clone / convert 5.5 v3.1 · Red Hat Medium · Guest disk information disclosure
CVE-2026-43806 Apple macOS mDNSResponder 5.5 v3.1 · CISA-ADP Medium · Local denial of service
CVE-2026-64339 Linux Kernel drivers/usb/misc/usbio.c N/A kernel.org CNA · NVD pending Slab out-of-bounds read / kernel memory disclosure

CVE-2026-64339 does not currently have a CVSS base score from the upstream kernel.org CNA or NVD. Downstream Linux distribution scores are therefore not used as the profile score.
