It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-98016 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98016/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98016/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-98016","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98016/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-98016","record":{"aliases":["AZL-104664","BELL-CVE-2026-98016","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-98016","GHSA-hw2x-mg9v-qw7c","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-98016"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A use-after-free race condition in the Linux kernel mlx5e driver allows local attackers to potentially execute arbitrary code or escalate privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet/mlx5e: Fix use-after-free race in sample_restore_put()\n\nConcurrent teardown of TC sample rules sharing the same restore\ncontext may re-read restore-\u003ecount after dropping restore_lock.\nAt that point another thread may already have completed cleanup and\nfreed the restore object.\n\nUse the result of the refcount decrement while holding restore_lock to\ndetermine whether cleanup is needed.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"net/mlx5e: Fix use-after-free race in sample_restore_put()","id":"CVE-2026-98016","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"net/sched: defer qdisc freeing after failed creation","id":"CVE-2026-98017"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"net/mlx5: E-Switch: fix use-after-free in mlx5_eswitch_termtbl_put","id":"CVE-2026-98015"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-09-25","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-19","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A use-after-free race condition in the Linux kernel mlx5e driver allows local attackers to potentially execute arbitrary code or escalate privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98016/"}
