An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-98792 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-2026-98792/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98792/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-98792","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98792/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-98792","record":{"aliases":["AZL-108999","BELL-CVE-2026-98792","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-98792","GHSA-j4c9-hvw2-vg7q","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-98792"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel netfilter flowtable allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"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\nnetfilter: flowtable: generalize pending status bit\n\nRename NF_FLOW_HW_PENDING to NF_FLOW_PENDING and use it to inhibit the\nflowtable GC worker until pending hw offload work has been completed.\n\nApparently, nf_flow_offload_stats() can schedule work to retrieve stats\nwhile the flow is being removed by GC.\n\nAnd this bit can also be used in a follow up patch to disable GC until\nthe flow has been fully added in both directions.\n\nRevert the reordering done in commit d644b23afe1e (\"netfilter:\nflowtable: publish HW_DEAD after worker is done\") to prevent a race\nbetween GC and hw offload handler.","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":"netfilter: flowtable: generalize pending status bit","id":"CVE-2026-98792","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"race_condition","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"netfilter: bpf: reject invalid NAT manipulation types","id":"CVE-2026-98793"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"net/mlx5e: Fix AF_XDP TX timestamp teardown NULL dereference","id":"CVE-2026-98791"},"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 race condition in the Linux kernel netfilter flowtable allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98792/"}
