In particular, modern\nvirtio-pci keeps enabled queues active until the device is reset.\n\nReset the device before deleting the virtqueues so it can no longer\naccess the vring memory when that memory is released. This also covers\nprobe failures after DRIVER_OK, which unwind through virtsnd_remove().","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3e24b4a6acfd3bedb2200334595facd767c9a897","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/500a8401415ab085555785c3c339747e378abd36","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6c05d00af307560e6a9f1631d6270d3df5aa2272","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/830012feadc228a938514a6487862dcf56af7e66","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8edc3669e3e22f0123a1114c3a03df9abc4cd465"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:57:46.668721662+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-98264","score":0.00173,"percentile":0.06631,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
