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-2026-98224 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-2026-98224/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98224/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-98224","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98224/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-98224","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-98224","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-98224","GHSA-mpjf-v662-xm2m","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-98224"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can cause a memory accounting error in the Linux kernel, potentially leading to a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"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\nmm/vma: correctly unaccount on mmap_prepare() failure\n\n__mmap_setup() accounts memory for relevant mappings via:\n\nsecurity_vm_enough_memory_mm()\n  -\u003e __vm_enough_memory()\n    -\u003e vm_acct_memory()\n\nIf __mmap_setup() fails, this indicates that this accounting did not take\nplace, and thus it's appropriate for __mmap_region() to jump to\nabort_munmap.\n\nHowever if call_mmap_prepare() fails, it also jumps there and any accounted\nmemory is not correctly unaccounted.\n\nFix this by handling each error separately.","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":"mm/vma: correctly unaccount on mmap_prepare() failure","id":"CVE-2026-98224","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"mm/shrinker: fix bogus set_shrinker_bit() with cgroup.memory=nokmem","id":"CVE-2026-98225"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"mm: filemap: retain mapped dropbehind folios","id":"CVE-2026-98223"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-10-06","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 local attacker can cause a memory accounting error in the Linux kernel, potentially leading to a denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98224/"}
