Nonzero MSTI changes come from netlink\nwith rtnl held. Move the switchdev call before entering the rcu section and\nassert that rtnl is held.\n\nThe call cannot be deferred because netlink needs its error and extack.\nAlso DSA reads the old bridge MST state during the callback and checks it.\nA deferred callback will be late and will see the updated state.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/18a6fe05fb6e18de29fa90d388bb34044114b3d8","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6b431b63219853eef4054e2f1cb073d2ca2059b4","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/abf734d150c61acfdfee102169d0e5d1c482e285","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b9661fd2423fc25e91e0517ecc0b6156ad83e3a8","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c40ed3e884c8dc0350f26484030438ef24208ff1"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:57:46.668721662+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-98301","score":0.0018,"percentile":0.07538,"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).
