{"cve":"CVE-2026-98347","nvd":{"published":"2026-10-06T09:18:27.773","modified":"2026-10-19T10:18:37.207","status":"Received","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nIB/IPoIB: Avoid restoring OPER_UP after multicast flush\n\nipoib_ib_dev_flush_light() temporarily clears IPOIB_FLAG_OPER_UP to\nprevent multicast joins while ipoib_mcast_dev_flush() is running, and\nrestores the flag afterwards if it was previously set.\n\nThis restore races with ipoib_ib_dev_down(). If the interface is brought\ndown while the flush is in progress, ipoib_ib_dev_down() clears\nIPOIB_FLAG_OPER_UP, but the flush path may set it again after the device\nhas already gone down.\n\nSince commit 894021a75291 (\"IB/ipoib: Make the carrier_on_task race\naware\"), ipoib_mcast_carrier_on_task() relies on IPOIB_FLAG_OPER_UP\nbeing cleared to terminate its rtnl_trylock() retry loop. If the flag is\nleft set after shutdown, the workqueue retries forever, causing teardown\nto deadlock when ipoib_ndo_uninit() waits in destroy_workqueue() while\nholding RTNL.\n\nInstead of overloading IPOIB_FLAG_OPER_UP to block multicast joins\nduring a light flush, introduce a dedicated IPOIB_FLAG_MCAST_FLUSH flag.\nUse it together with IPOIB_FLAG_OPER_UP to determine whether multicast\njoins are allowed, avoiding the race with device shutdown.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/188b334a6db36a8e0bfaaf59bc4020639a0f3aad","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1b11e4b55b41d9e69a8e8d07622614202e2eaca9","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1ff3add37c329704ec46181b4ae4f00f9f16ce6f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/326f7d34bd7e64de535566b65c0533b640df5a81","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5ad925d45f28464a5e043c9620880bb6a030da89"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:57:46.668721662+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-98347","score":0.00177,"percentile":0.07146,"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).
