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-2026-98238 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-2026-98238/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98238/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-98238","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98238/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-98238","record":{"aliases":["AZL-106206","BELL-CVE-2026-98238","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-98238","GHSA-wwj9-jxr5-39jp","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-98238"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel WWAN driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A missing bounds check in the Linux kernel t7xx WWAN driver allows out-of-bounds reads and potential code execution via crafted network packets.","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\nnet: wwan: t7xx: validate the netif index in t7xx_ccmni_recv_skb()\n\nThe netif index carried in the DPMAIF PIT header is five bits wide,\nbut ccmni_inst[] only has room for NIC_DEV_MAX (21) entries.\nt7xx_ccmni_recv_skb() indexes the array without a bounds check, so\nindexes 21 to 31 read past it.
