{"id":"AZL-104669","summary":"CVE-2026-98089 affecting package kernel 6.6.157.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nbonding: alb: fix uninitialized transport header access in alb_determine_nd()\n\nalb_determine_nd() uses icmp6_hdr(skb) to inspect ICMPv6 headers.\nHowever, in xmit paths (e.g. packets sent via AF_PACKET / raw sockets\nor forwarded packets), skb-\u003etransport_header is not guaranteed to be\ninitialized. While pskb_network_may_pull() ensures the packet data is\nlinear starting from the network header, it does not set or adjust the\ntransport header offset.\n\nDereferencing icmp6_hdr(skb) can therefore access out-of-bounds memory.\n\nFetch the icmp6hdr directly after ipv6hdr following pskb_network_may_pull(),\nand reload ipv6hdr in case pskb_may_pull() reallocated skb-\u003ehead.\nAlso remove the unused bond argument from alb_determine_nd().","modified":"2026-09-30T05:39:58Z","published":"2026-09-25T11:17:38Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-98089"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-98089"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/kernel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"6.6.157.1-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-104669.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
