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-2026-98746 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-2026-98746/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98746/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-98746","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98746/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-98746","record":{"aliases":["AZL-108846","BELL-CVE-2026-98746","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-98746","GHSA-74wj-7f7x-fq68","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-98746"],"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 clock reference leak in the ma35d1 serial driver can lead to resource exhaustion and denial of service.","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\nserial: ma35d1: Fix clock reference leak in ma35d1serial_probe()\n\nof_clk_get() returns a clock with a reference that has to be released\nwith clk_put(). ma35d1serial_probe() never does that, so the reference\nis leaked on the probe error paths and also when the port is removed.\n\nRelease it on the error paths and in ma35d1serial_remove().","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":"serial: ma35d1: Fix clock reference leak in ma35d1serial_probe()","id":"CVE-2026-98746","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"serial: core: fix NULL pointer dereference in serial_core_unregister_port()","id":"CVE-2026-98747"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"arm64/fpsimd: signal: Forbid non-streaming SVE payload on SME-only systems","id":"CVE-2026-98745"},"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":"2026-10-21","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A clock reference leak in the ma35d1 serial driver can lead to resource exhaustion and denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98746/"}
