{"id":"AZL-110753","summary":"CVE-2026-98948 affecting package kernel 6.6.157.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nmlxsw: spectrum_flower: Fix port range register leak in tmplt_create()\n\nmlxsw_sp_flower_tmplt_create() parses a flow_cls_offload template\ninto a stack-local struct mlxsw_sp_acl_rule_info purely to compute\nrulei.values.elusage. Parsing can acquire port range registers via\nmlxsw_sp_flower_parse_ports_range(), but since this rulei never goes\nthrough mlxsw_sp_acl_rulei_destroy(), those registers were never\nreleased, including through chain template deletion.\n\nFactor out of mlxsw_sp_acl_rulei_destroy() the code to actually\nrelease the necessary resources and call from\nmlxsw_sp_flower_tmplt_create() to plug the leak.\n\nThe issue was found during a review of Wentao Liang's patch referenced\nbelow.","modified":"2026-10-25T05:30:37Z","published":"2026-10-23T13:17:15Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-98948"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-98948"}],"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-110753.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
