Answer in brief
CVE-2026-72096 records a Unknown severity vulnerability in dm-verity: make error counter atomic. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. The current feed maps Linux/Linux (generic), Linux/Linux (generic). Check affected ranges and fixed versions before updating.
Analysis pending evidence review
HOL Guard separates source facts from reviewed analysis. See the methodology.
A CVSS score is not reported in the current record. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. Treat this as a source-backed prioritization signal, not a statement about your environment.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm-verity: make error counter atomic The error counter "v->corrupted_errs" was not atomic, thus it could be subject to race conditions. The call to dm_audit_log_target("max-corrupted-errors") may be skipped due to the races.
