For example if user unloads the\ndriver while at the same time plugging  a device router we may have\nscheduled tb_handle_hotplug() to run. Avoid possible UAF in this case by\ntaking the domain reference before scheduling the hotplug handler in\ntb_queue_hotplug().","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/04df2985159e381c88a923fae1bec2f8d0272412","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/06b2e894e640f6a3dbeb536a2d26d72426b26a46","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0a87af3b1e3aa2e09d160848daf0c39e765b73de","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/138ec65b2c761f065b19d115aed2b8246fc272f5","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1d991f749a8255ee2ecc6307e2f27354ab631827"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-26T07:33:01.631659812+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-98896","score":0.00187,"percentile":0.08199,"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).
