CVE-2026-98842

Опубликовано: 18 окт. 2026
Источник: redhat
CVSS3: 4.4

Описание

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: module: fix lost error code from codetag_load_module() If codetag_load_module() fails, err is not set to reflect the failure and load_module() returns 0 after the module has been torn down. Also, if the module is a livepatch, mod->klp_info allocated by copy_module_elf() leaks on this error path. Free it via a new livepatch_cleanup label.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's module loading subsystem. When an error occurs during module initialization, the kernel fails to propagate the error code and incorrectly reports a successful load after the module has already been cleaned up. A local privileged user could trigger this vulnerability to cause kernel instability, memory leaks, or a Denial of Service (DoS).
