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-2026-98272 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-2026-98272/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98272/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-98272","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98272/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-98272","record":{"aliases":["AZL-106479","BELL-CVE-2026-98272","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-98272","GHSA-986m-q5f3-3m78","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-98272"],"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 driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A buffer overflow in the Marvell mvpp2 network driver allows attackers to cause denial of service or execute code via MTU changes.","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: mvpp2: prevent buffer overflow in page_pool allocation\n\nThe per‑processor buffering scheme is supported only if the\nnumber of pools (nrxqs * 2) does not exceed MVPP2_BM_MAX_POOLS (8).\nThis is already checked in mvpp2_probe() during the initial\nactivation of percpu_pools.\n\nHowever, mvpp2_change_mtu() may later call\nmvpp2_bm_switch_buffers(priv, true) without this check, which can\nlead to an out-of-bounds access in the priv-\u003epage_pool array in\nmvpp2_bm_init().
