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-2026-98723 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-2026-98723/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98723/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-98723","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98723/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-98723","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-98723","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-98723","GHSA-hpxm-6496-49xp","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-98723"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Linux kernel NVMe","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A logic error in Linux kernel NVMe target allows hosts to bypass reservation abort mechanisms, leaving victim I/O active during preemption.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"business_logic"},"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\nnvmet: copy the hostid into the ctrl before creating PR pc_refs\n\nCommit 6202783184bf (\"nvmet: Improve nvmet_alloc_ctrl() interface and\nimplementation\") added a second uuid_copy() of args-\u003ehostid near the end\nof nvmet_alloc_ctrl(), and commit 7b658153f1b8 (\"nvmet: Remove duplicate\nuuid_copy\") removed the original copy that sat before\nnvmet_ctrl_init_pr() instead of the new one.\n\nSince then nvmet_ctrl_init_pr() snapshots ctrl-\u003ehostid into the\nper-controller per-namespace reservation refs while the uuid_copy()\nfrom the connect data runs later, after the controller is published.\nThe ctrl is allocated with kzalloc(), so every pc_ref created on this\npath stores the nil UUID.\n\npc_ref-\u003ehostid has a single consumer: nvmet_pr_set_ctrl_to_abort()\nmatches it against the preempted registrant's hostid to kill and drain\nthe victim's in-flight I/O for Preempt and Abort.
