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-2026-98375 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-2026-98375/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98375/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-98375","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98375/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-98375","record":{"aliases":["AZL-110453","BELL-CVE-2026-98375","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-98375","GHSA-6q97-4p5q-xv9v","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-98375"],"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 malicious Xen backend can cause a kernel crash or memory read by sending network packets with short Ethernet headers.","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\nxen/netfront: drop RX packets with a short Ethernet header\n\nhandle_incoming_queue() pulls pull_to bytes into the head before\ncalling eth_type_trans().  pull_to is the length of the first RX slot,\ncapped at RX_COPY_THRESHOLD, and that length comes from the backend.\nNothing checks it against ETH_HLEN.\n\nIf the first slot is shorter than ETH_HLEN and more slots follow, the\nhead ends up shorter than an Ethernet header while skb-\u003elen is longer,\nand eth_type_trans() BUG()s in __skb_pull().
