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-2026-98916/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98916/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-98916","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98916/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-98916","record":{"aliases":["AZL-110591","BELL-CVE-2026-98916","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-98916","GHSA-36vw-2rf5-jg3c","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-98916"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"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\nwifi: nl80211: check link is beaconing for color change\n\nWhen trying to do a color change, validate that the link is\nbeaconing first, to avoid calling the driver with an invalid\nlink.","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":"wifi: nl80211: check link is beaconing for color change","id":"CVE-2026-98916","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":null,"year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"parisc: Increase kernel stack size to 32kb","id":"CVE-2026-98917"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"media: video-i2c: use vb2_video_unregister_device on driver removal","id":"CVE-2026-98915"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-10-23","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":"2026-10-26","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":null,"url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98916/"}
