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-2026-98661 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-2026-98661/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98661/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-98661","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98661/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-98661","record":{"aliases":["AZL-108828","BELL-CVE-2026-98661","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-98661","GHSA-7jrf-7w2g-hp8v","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-98661"],"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 denial of service in the Linux kernel by triggering an error in the ROHM BU27034 light sensor driver, leading to an infinite delay.","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\niio: light: rohm-bu27034: Fix infinite delay on error\n\nWhen reading an integration-time fails, the code will use error code to\ncompute the sleep time.\n\nFix this by using the smallest integration time as a default if\nreading fails.","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":"iio: light: rohm-bu27034: Fix infinite delay on error","id":"CVE-2026-98661","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"iio: light: gp2ap020a00f: drain irq_work after free_irq","id":"CVE-2026-98662"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"iio: pressure: bmp280: fix out-of-bounds access in sampling frequency lookup","id":"CVE-2026-98660"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-10-18","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 local attacker can cause a denial of service in the Linux kernel by triggering an error in the ROHM BU27034 light sensor driver, leading to an infinite delay.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98661/"}
