{"id":"AZL-88566","summary":"CVE-2026-45998 affecting package kernel for versions less than 6.6.141.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nrxrpc: Fix potential UAF after skb_unshare() failure\n\nIf skb_unshare() fails to unshare a packet due to allocation failure in\nrxrpc_input_packet(), the skb pointer in the parent (rxrpc_io_thread())\nwill be NULL'd out.  This will likely cause the call to\ntrace_rxrpc_rx_done() to oops.\n\nFix this by moving the unsharing down to where rxrpc_input_call_event()\ncalls rxrpc_input_call_packet().  There are a number of places prior to\nthat where we ignore DATA packets for a variety of reasons (such as the\ncall already being complete) for which an unshare is then avoided.\n\nAnd with that, rxrpc_input_packet() doesn't need to take a pointer to the\npointer to the packet, so change that to just a pointer.","modified":"2026-08-28T17:47:24.745924774Z","published":"2026-05-27T14:17:17Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-45998"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-45998"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/kernel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"6.6.141.1-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-88566.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
