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-2026-98204 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-2026-98204/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98204/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-98204","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98204/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-98204","record":{"aliases":["AZL-106233","BELL-CVE-2026-98204","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-98204","GHSA-qm76-89x6-cmqm","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-98204"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A local attacker can trigger an out-of-bounds read in the RMI SMBus driver, potentially leaking kernel memory or causing a system crash.","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\nInput: rmi_smbus - fix out-of-bounds read in rmi_smb_write_block()\n\nWhen chunking writes into SMBus blocks in rmi_smb_write_block(), the\nloop calculates block_len using the original total length (len) instead\nof the remaining length (cur_len).\n\nIf len is greater than 32 bytes (SMB_MAX_COUNT), block_len remains 32\nfor every iteration, even on the final partial chunk where fewer than 32\nbytes remain.
