Collected exploitation and prediction evidence

Risk source coverage

CISA KEV is observed exploitation evidence. FIRST EPSS is a dated prediction of exploitation in the next 30 days. Missing scores are unknown. This collector requests predictions only for explicit CVE aliases in the public NuGet archive; Microsoft release views retain their existing prediction scope.

No collected risk observation for these identifiers. This does not establish absence of exploitation or a zero probability.

net: bridge: remove stale rcu_barrier() in br_multicast_dev_del()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: bridge: remove stale rcu_barrier() in br_multicast_dev_del() This rcu_barrier() came from a time call_rcu() calls were used in net/bridge/br_multicast.c. Now kfree_rcu() is there, we can remove this problematic rcu_barrier() which causes extreme RTNL pressure in many syzbot reports.
