Published Aug 15, 2026 EPSS 0.21% (12th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2026-72081 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 15, 2026.

Technical Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

scsi: elx: efct: Fix I/O leak on unsupported additional CDB

efct_dispatch_fcp_cmd() allocates an efct_io before dispatching an

unsolicited FCP command. If the command has an unsupported additional

CDB, the function returns -EIO before handing the IO to the SCSI layer.

Free the allocated IO before returning from this error path.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
