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-2026-98188 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-2026-98188/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98188/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-98188","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98188/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-98188","record":{"aliases":["AZL-105999","BELL-CVE-2026-98188","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-98188","GHSA-4pxx-93w9-mj25","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-98188"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service","data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel WiFi driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A missing length validation in the Linux kernel p54 WiFi driver allows an attacker with physical access to trigger an out-of-bounds read via a malicious EEPROM, potentially causing a crash or information leak.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"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\nwifi: p54: validate curve data length in the calibration curve converters\n\np54_convert_rev0() and p54_convert_rev1() read calibration curve\ndata from the device-supplied EEPROM entry using channel and\npoints-per-channel counts taken verbatim from that same entry, so\nan entry that declares more data than it carries drives an\nout-of-bounds read past the EEPROM buffer (verified with a KASAN\nreproducer of the conversion loop).
