However, reading slot_uid\nalready accesses the freed object.\n\nClear enclave_file->private_data before fput() on the error path.\nne_enclave_release() then returns immediately when private_data is\nNULL, leaving the ioctl error path as the sole owner of ne_enclave.\nThis is safe because the file has not been fd_install()'d yet.\n\nTested on an AWS EC2 m5.2xlarge with CONFIG_KASAN=y. Without the\npatch, the reproducer triggers a KASAN slab-use-after-free on every\nSLOT_ALLOC failure. With the patch, no KASAN report is produced and\nthe SLOT_ALLOC error is still returned. Normal enclave creation and\nteardown are unaffected.","score":null,"severity":"unknown","published":"2026-10-18T15:48:11.317Z","modified":"2026-10-30T12:39:42.932Z","withdrawn":false,"knownExploited":false,"affected":[],"products":[{"vendor":"Linux","name":"Linux","platforms":[],"versions":[{"version":"9c8eb50fe9e2bb8a2e725979e052fbf592b6b799","status":"affected","lessThan":"718965a5fcea47f7ec6accff55306317aadc3af3","versionType":"git"},{"version":"9c8eb50fe9e2bb8a2e725979e052fbf592b6b799","status":"affected","lessThan":"dac89ed976d9826eae4703281d0d51b062b58eef","versionType":"git"},{"version":"9c8eb50fe9e2bb8a2e725979e052fbf592b6b799","status":"affected","lessThan":"8024c50b8763add7912b6d9830327ba73f994204","versionType":"git"},{"version":"9c8eb50fe9e2bb8a2e725979e052fbf592b6b799","status":"affected","lessThan":"8bde6f643ab6fe5e3e3f4c312f84ce327ecf39b2","versionType":"git"},{"version":"9c8eb50fe9e2bb8a2e725979e052fbf592b6b799","status":"affected","lessThan":"466041d14f26dc2babd606a2e85dce08774112a6","versionType":"git"},{"version":"9c8eb50fe9e2bb8a2e725979e052fbf592b6b799","status":"affected","lessThan":"f7fb6c2835ede1b8ad84cf7e78a528a9d0159b84","versionType":"git"},{"version":"9c8eb50fe9e2bb8a2e725979e052fbf592b6b799","status":"affected","lessThan":"43f78b328f3907ca2f7424e15b7e45ffbf9fe21c","versionType":"git"},{"version":"9c8eb50fe9e2bb8a2e725979e052fbf592b6b799","status":"affected","lessThan":"9bc184a2eda8b773c88ecbff934001ad649b9cc1","versionType":"git"}],"defaultStatus":"unaffected","cpes":[],"source":"Linux","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-98775"},{"vendor":"Linux","name":"Linux","platforms":[],"versions":[{"version":"5.10","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","status":"unaffected","lessThan":"5.10","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.10.273","status":"unaffected","lessThanOrEqual":"5.10.*","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.15.224","status":"unaffected","lessThanOrEqual":"5.15.*","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.191","status":"unaffected","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.160","status":"unaffected","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.113","status":"unaffected","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.56","status":"unaffected","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2.10","status":"unaffected","lessThanOrEqual":"7.2.*","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.3","status":"unaffected","lessThanOrEqual":"*","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}],"defaultStatus":"affected","cpes":[],"source":"Linux","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-98775"}],"remediation":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/718965a5fcea47f7ec6accff55306317aadc3af3","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/dac89ed976d9826eae4703281d0d51b062b58eef","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8024c50b8763add7912b6d9830327ba73f994204","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8bde6f643ab6fe5e3e3f4c312f84ce327ecf39b2","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/466041d14f26dc2babd606a2e85dce08774112a6","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f7fb6c2835ede1b8ad84cf7e78a528a9d0159b84","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/43f78b328f3907ca2f7424e15b7e45ffbf9fe21c","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9bc184a2eda8b773c88ecbff934001ad649b9cc1"],"sources":[{"name":"CVE","id":"CVE-2026-98775","modified":"2026-10-30T12:39:42.932Z","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-98775"}],"assessments":[],"sourceAffected":[],"observedAt":"2026-10-30T13:09:05.706Z","kev":{"status":"not-listed","checkedAt":"2026-11-15T01:10:30.655Z"},"coverage":[{"source":"NVD","status":"not-checked"},{"source":"GHSA","status":"not-checked"},{"source":"EUVD","status":"not-checked"},{"source":"EPSS","status":"not-checked"}],"evidence":[],"aiSummary":null}
