{"id":"AZL-108803","summary":"CVE-2026-98756 affecting package kernel 6.6.157.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nusb: cdns3: Fix NULL pointer dereference in cdns3_pci_probe\n\nThe Cadence USBSS controller is a two-function PCI device. The first\nprobed function allocates the driver data and stores it with\npci_set_drvdata(), while the second function reuses it via\npci_get_drvdata() when pci_is_enabled() reports that the first\nfunction has already been probed.\n\nWhen the second function is probed while the first one has been\nenabled but has not yet set its driver data, pci_get_drvdata()\nreturns NULL, and the subsequent wrap-\u003edevfn assignment dereferences\na NULL pointer and crashes the kernel.\nlogs:\nCall trace:\n  cdns3_pci_probe+0xa4/0x300\n  local_pci_probe+0x44/0xa8\n  pci_call_probe+0x54/0x158\n  pci_device_probe+0x84/0x100\n  really_probe+0x184/0x3d0\n  __driver_probe_device+0x80/0x178\n  driver_probe_device+0x44/0xe8\n  __driver_attach+0xec/0x1f8\n  bus_for_each_dev+0x7c/0xe0\n  driver_attach+0x28/0x38\n  bus_add_driver+0x110/0x238\n  driver_register+0x64/0x128\n  __pci_register_driver+0x50/0x60\n  cdns3_pci_driver_init+0x28/0x38\n  do_one_initcall+0x5c/0x280\n  do_initcalls+0x104/0x1d8\n  kernel_init_freeable+0x140/0x218\n  kernel_init+0x28/0x1f8\n  ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20\n\nReturn -EPROBE_DEFER in this case so that probing is retried after\nthe first function has completed its probe.","modified":"2026-10-19T14:16:49.639478800Z","published":"2026-10-18T16:17:29Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-98756"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-98756"}],"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-108803.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
