An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-98175 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-2026-98175/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98175/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-98175","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98175/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-98175","record":{"aliases":["AZL-106059","BELL-CVE-2026-98175","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-98175","GHSA-22vf-w84m-jw7w","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-98175"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel SMB client","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A use-after-free in the Linux kernel SMB client allows attackers to cause denial of service or execute code when reconnect work is queued during cleanup.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nsmb: client: cancel reconnect work in clean_demultiplex_info()\n\nclean_demultiplex_info() cancels server-\u003eecho delayed work but not\nserver-\u003ereconnect, which can cause a use-after-free when the\ndemultiplex thread exits while a reconnect work is still queued:\n\n  cifs_demultiplex_thread()\n    cifs_readv_from_socket()\n      cifs_reconnect()\n        __cifs_reconnect()\n          cifs_queue_server_reconn()\n            mod_delayed_work(cifsiod_wq, \u0026server-\u003ereconnect, 0)\n    clean_demultiplex_info()\n      cancel_delayed_work_sync(\u0026server-\u003eecho)   // echo canceled\n                                                 // reconnect NOT canceled\n      kfree_sensitive(server)                    // server freed\n\n  ...later, on cifsiod_wq:\n\n  smb2_reconnect_server()\n    server-\u003esrv_count  // UAF read of freed server\n\nFix this by canceling server-\u003ereconnect delayed work in\nclean_demultiplex_info() before the server is freed, the same way\ncifs_put_tcp_session() already does.","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":"smb: client: cancel reconnect work in clean_demultiplex_info()","id":"CVE-2026-98175","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"drm/amdkfd: Avoid integer underflow with ffs in EOP ring size calc","id":"CVE-2026-98176"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"smb: client: fix rlist race and missing initialization","id":"CVE-2026-98174"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-10-06","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-19","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A use-after-free in the Linux kernel SMB client allows attackers to cause denial of service or execute code when reconnect work is queued during cleanup.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98175/"}
