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-2026-98494 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-2026-98494/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98494/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-98494","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98494/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-98494","record":{"aliases":["AZL-108857","BELL-CVE-2026-98494","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-98494","GHSA-9q2h-qvmx-46mv","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-98494"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A local attacker can cause a system hang in the atl1 network driver by triggering a soft lockup during hardware reset conditions.","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\nnet: atl1: fix soft lockup on out-of-range cmb_tpd_next_to_clean read\n\nSame issue as atl1c (see the first commit in this series, \"net:\natl1c: fix soft lockup on out-of-range tpd_cons read\"): the hardware\ncan report an out-of-range cmb_tpd_next_to_clean (seen as 0xffff)\nwhile the PCIe link/MAC is resetting.
