{"schema":"threatline.record/2","record":{"id":"CVE-2026-98560","aliases":[],"summary":"net/rds: size a connection's path set by the transport it ends up with","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet/rds: size a connection's path set by the transport it ends up with\n\n__rds_conn_create() computes npaths from the caller's transport before\nit decides whether a connection to one of the host's own addresses is\nto be handled by the loopback transport instead.  That substitution is\nwhat an RDS/TCP socket sending to a local address gets, and after it\nthe path init loop still runs for the TCP transport's RDS_MPATH_WORKERS\npaths and allocates an ordered workqueue for each, while\nrds_loop_conn_alloc() only ever provides transport data for path 0.\n\nrds_conn_destroy() sizes its teardown from c_trans, by then the\nloopback transport, so it visits path 0 only - and\nrds_conn_path_destroy() would skip the other paths anyway, since it\nreturns before destroy_workqueue() for a path without transport data.\nkfree(c_path) then drops the last pointers to seven workqueues.  That\nrepeats for every such connection, on every netns teardown or module\nunload, and every distinct local destination address is a separate\nconnection.\n\nRecompute npaths once the transport is final, so that creation and\ndestruction agree on the set of paths.  The c_path array stays sized\nfor the caller's transport; the unused entries are freed with it.","categories":["Operating systems"],"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","ecosystem":null,"affected_ranges":[{"source":"CVE List","source_url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-98560","source_modified_at":"2026-10-19T09:21:44.401Z","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:45:31.882637Z","product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","versions":[{"version":"4716af3897e95997d08183d351cece2dec9ee0c0","lessThan":"670f303169d2d36f315c40f6d3d18b5ee8498fea","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"4716af3897e95997d08183d351cece2dec9ee0c0","lessThan":"ba3d1f480c7a3fba963e7867ad6cc557c197acbc","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}],"defaultStatus":"unaffected"},{"source":"CVE List","source_url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-98560","source_modified_at":"2026-10-19T09:21:44.401Z","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:45:31.882637Z","product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","versions":[{"version":"7.0","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"7.0","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2.9","lessThanOrEqual":"7.2.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.3","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}],"defaultStatus":"affected"}],"fixed_versions":[{"source":"CVE List","source_url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-98560","source_modified_at":"2026-10-19T09:21:44.401Z","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:45:31.882637Z","package":{"name":"Linux","ecosystem":null},"version":"670f303169d2d36f315c40f6d3d18b5ee8498fea","basis":"first unaffected version stated in the CVE record"}],"cvss":null,"severity":null,"kev":{"listed":false},"epss":{"probability":0.00189,"percentile":0.0812,"score_date":"2026-10-23"},"published_at":"2026-10-18T15:18:27.162Z","modified_at":"2026-10-19T09:21:44.401Z","provenance":[{"source":"CVE List","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-98560","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:45:31.882637Z","source_modified_at":"2026-10-19T09:21:44.401Z"},{"source":"EPSS","url":"https://api.first.org/data/v1/epss?cve=CVE-2026-98560","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:42:43.628194Z","source_modified_at":"2026-10-23"}],"sources":["CVE List","EPSS"],"references":[{"source":"CVE List","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/670f303169d2d36f315c40f6d3d18b5ee8498fea"},{"source":"CVE List","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ba3d1f480c7a3fba963e7867ad6cc557c197acbc"}],"locations":[],"motoko_assessment":{"status":"requires_architecture_review","automatic_remediation":false},"cve_state":"PUBLISHED","classification":{"method":"product-first software-layer rules","rules_version":"2.1","matched_on":"product","confidence":"heuristic","reviewed":false},"change_timestamp":"2026-10-19T09:21:44.401Z","content_hash":"d4622ba53f1ce185f786f5e299b0c1b5b51bff5c56e47590d750d2cd81f56898"}}
