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-2026-98344 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-2026-98344/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98344/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-98344","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98344/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-98344","record":{"aliases":["AZL-106251","BELL-CVE-2026-98344","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-98344","GHSA-g4c2-fm3r-x4gh","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-98344"],"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":"none","summary":"A reference counting bug in the Linux kernel DMA engine can cause a use-after-free condition, leading to denial of service when specific client interactions occur.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"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\ndmaengine: Fix device kref underflow in dma_chan_put()\n\ndma_chan_get() takes chan-\u003edevice-\u003eref only on the slow path:\n\n\t/* no kref on fast path */\n\tif (chan-\u003eclient_count) {\n\t\t__module_get(owner);\n\t\tchan-\u003eclient_count++;\n\t\treturn 0;\n\t}\n\tif (!try_module_get(owner))\n\t\treturn -ENODEV;\n\tif (!dma_device_get(chan-\u003edevice)) { // calls kref_get_unless_zero()\n\ndma_chan_put() drops the ref unconditionally, so every fast-path\nget/put pair drops one extra device reference.\n\nThe bug fires when two conditions hold together: a non-private\nprovider has a persistent client holding chan-\u003eclient_count \u003e 0\nand another client cycles dmaengine_get()/dmaengine_put().\nWhen the kref hits zero, the subsequent dma_find_channel() returns\nNULL even though the provider module is still loaded.\n\nFix this by dropping device-\u003eref only on the last put, matching the\nsingle slow-path get.","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":"dmaengine: Fix device kref underflow in dma_chan_put()","id":"CVE-2026-98344","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"wifi: cfg80211: check IP header size in cfg80211_classify8021d()","id":"CVE-2026-98345"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"dmaengine: fix use-after-free in dma_chan_put() and dma_release_channel()","id":"CVE-2026-98343"},"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 reference counting bug in the Linux kernel DMA engine can cause a use-after-free condition, leading to denial of service when specific client interactions occur.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98344/"}
