CVE-2026-98586

Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-98586)

Summary

Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-98586). 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:

sctp: hold asoc or transport before mod_timer() in timer handlers

Take the association or transport reference before rearming a timer in the
timer handlers.

The existing code calls mod_timer() before taking the reference needed by
the rearmed timer without holding the sock lock. This creates a race with
timer cleanup: if the timer is deleted after mod_timer() returns but before
the reference is taken, the cleanup path can drop the timer's reference and
destroy the transport or association. The timer handler then takes a
reference on the already freed object and eventually drops it, causing a
refcount underflow.

Hold the object before mod_timer() and drop the reference if mod_timer()
reports that the timer was already pending in timer handlers. Apply the
same ordering to the proto-unreachable path, which can rearm a transport
timer outside the timer handlers without holding the sock lock.
