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-2026-98269 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-2026-98269/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98269/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-98269","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98269/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-98269","record":{"aliases":["AZL-106461","BELL-CVE-2026-98269","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-98269","GHSA-2964-m6r5-r6cr","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-98269"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can cause persistent filesystem inconsistency and potential denial of service by triggering a failure during btrfs hole punching or reflinking operations.","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\nbtrfs: abort transaction on failure to update inode for hole punching and reflinking\n\nIf we fail to update the inode we error out without aborting the\ntransaction, which can result in a persistent inconsistency if after\nthe failure the transaction is committed, as we have dropped file\nextent items from a range and either punched a hole or insert a new file\nextent item for that range (for reflinks).\n\nSo add the missing transaction abort.","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":"btrfs: abort transaction on failure to update inode for hole punching and reflinking","id":"CVE-2026-98269","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"drm/amdgpu: check ras and obj before dereference","id":"CVE-2026-98270"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"perf: Fix null pointer access in is_include_guest_event()","id":"CVE-2026-98268"},"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 persistent filesystem inconsistency and potential denial of service by triggering a failure during btrfs hole punching or reflinking operations.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98269/"}
