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-2026-98611 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-2026-98611/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98611/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-98611","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98611/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-98611","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-98611","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-98611","GHSA-3j3q-mxmx-xwq4","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-98611"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker with BPF privileges can read kernel memory beyond validated bounds due to missing size checks in bpf_crypto_ctx_create.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"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\nbpf: Check params size before reading reserved fields\n\nbpf_crypto_ctx_create() is a kfunc whose second argument is declared\nwith the __sz annotation, so the verifier only guarantees that\nparams__sz bytes of params are valid.
