The plain transport\nheader reset truncates that offset and triggers the skb warning path.\n\nUse the careful transport-header helper and drop the skb through the\nexisting XFRM error path when the offset cannot be represented.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/206f396f46149dc8bc4dfd2b54b9879ba3ee1d7d","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/327b2a457dd7d5445f7395f371f3c65de79bd5ce","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4a8243fd2e21980fa3fd10c0610e9155057cebd3","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6c29681207bc213188afa603dff2d55e7178a341","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/96f01b53c2d05e003b040892256de54a586e8529"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:59:28.494260111+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-98417","score":0.0022,"percentile":0.12415,"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).
