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-2026-98566 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-2026-98566/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98566/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-98566","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98566/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-98566","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-98566","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-98566","GHSA-8m42-mvgx-m6jp","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-98566"],"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":"low_privilege","summary":"A missing bounds check in the Imagination DRM driver allows an attacker to trigger memory corruption via crafted firmware reconstruction requests.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"integer_overflow"},"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\ndrm/imagination: clamp freelist reconstruction requests\n\nThe firmware reconstruction count controls accesses to the request's\nfixed freelist ID array and the copy into the fixed response array.\nNeither access currently bounds the count to those protocol arrays.\n\nClamp the count to the request capacity, which is shared by the response\nlayout, and use that count consistently for reconstruction and response\npublication.
