{"apiVersion":"1.0","identifier":"CVE-2026-72238","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: x86/boot: Validate console=uart8250 baud rate to fix early boot hang When the baud rate is empty, 0, invalid, or overflows to 0 when stored as an int, the system will hang during early boot because of a division by zero in early_serial_init(). Fall back to DEFAULT_BAUD when the resulting baud rate is 0 to prevent an early system hang.","publishedAt":"2026-08-15T06:21:50","lastModifiedAt":"2026-08-17T06:18:25","sourceUrl":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-72238","cvssScore":null,"cvssVector":"Pending","epssProbability":0.00211,"riskScore":0,"affectedProduct":"Linux kernel","affectedVersions":"unknown","vulnerabilityType":"Kernel","operatingSystems":[],"links":{"self":"https://www.redsauce.net/api/cves/CVE-2026-72238","webPages":{"es":"https://www.redsauce.net/es/cves/CVE-2026-72238","en":"https://www.redsauce.net/en/cves/CVE-2026-72238","fr":"https://www.redsauce.net/fr/cves/CVE-2026-72238","pt":"https://www.redsauce.net/pt/cves/CVE-2026-72238","de":"https://www.redsauce.net/de/cves/CVE-2026-72238","sk":"https://www.redsauce.net/sk/cves/CVE-2026-72238","el":"https://www.redsauce.net/el/cves/CVE-2026-72238"},"source":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-72238"}}
