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-2026-98945/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98945/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-98945","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98945/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-98945","record":{"aliases":["AZL-110744","BELL-CVE-2026-98945","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-98945","GHSA-fhx7-57xw-qfjc","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-98945"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nHID: steam: Rearrange teardown sequence\n\nThis fixes a narrow window during the teardown sequence where callbacks\ncould still be scheduled during cleanup that would then have a dangling\npointer to the now-freed steam struct.\n\nThis also puts work canceling for rumble and mode switch in\nsteam_unregister, as that shouldn't persist while the client hdev is open.","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":"HID: steam: Rearrange teardown sequence","id":"CVE-2026-98945","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":null,"year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"drm/vc4: Disable the V3D interrupt across runtime suspend","id":"CVE-2026-98946"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"HID: steam: Refactor registration","id":"CVE-2026-98944"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-10-23","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-26","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":null,"url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98945/"}
