Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-98105)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-98105). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethernet: oa_tc6: Improve the error recovery
When oversubscribed traffic causes lot of buffer overflow errors,
probably due to loss of data chunks, driver fails to find a
data chunk with end_valid bit set, before it runs out of sk buffer
space. As a result, assert is seen during skb_put.
Now, check is made if skb buffer has enough tailroom for the
incoming data before accepting. If there is no room, current
frame is abandoned and it will start looking for a data chunk
with start_valid bit, that is a new frame.
SK buffer allocation error is considered as recoverable error.
rx_buf_overflow flag is too specific and no longer the only
condition this flag is used for. Therefore it is renamed as
wait_until_start_valid. This is more appropriate as this flag
is used to look for the next data chunk with SV bit set, after
failures like buffer overflow, buffer allocation failure, skb pointer
validity besides buffer overflow error.
Not writing to status0 if it reads 0.

CVE-2026-98105 (Linux kernel)
Plan: 1) Audit SBOM/dependencies, 2) Stage→prod upgrade, 3) Add WAF/proxy monitoring on affected endpoints, 4) Hunt IOCs in logs.
Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
A vulnerability (unclassified) exists in Linux kernel.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of Linux kernel.
Severity: ?. Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Update to the patched release per vendor advisory.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Audit SBOM/dependencies to find affected services.
