{"identifier":"CVE-2026-98445","cve":{"id":"CVE-2026-98445","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nxfs: don't let memory failures leak blocks and kill repairs\n\nLOLLM complains that a memory allocation failure in\nxrep_newbt_add_blocks results in online repair leaking blocks that were\npreviously allocated to write a new btree, but the problem is worse than\nthat -- a limitation of the codebase is that the callers cannot undo the\ntransaction /and/ return the error -- either you undo all changes and\ncommit the transaction, or you error out and the filesystem goes down.\n\nHowever, the new btree space reservation object isn't that big (~48\nbytes).  Let's just do a NOFAIL allocation and the problem goes away.","published":"2026-10-18T16:16:54.837000+00:00","modified":"2026-10-19T10:18:53.613000+00:00","status":"Received","score":null,"severity":"UNSCORED","vector":"","cvss_version":"","affected":[],"weaknesses":[],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0e0d3372a84029da1768c7a4c4601484af5b58a2","source":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3380151cf0ce8ad0c1d356fed51e4b69e1d28e50","source":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ab1c416d2377cdc16123ef521aac4da1c468c3d4","source":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b15c79fca28060fd9c7e77f2c3ebc4ba023974e8","source":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67"}],"kev":null,"kev_checked":true,"metrics":{},"configurations":[],"source":"nvd","retrieved_at":"2026-10-28T10:23:18.017131+00:00","exploited":false,"kev_stale":false,"products":[],"priority":{"label":"Assess exposure and vendor guidance","reasons":["No higher-priority signal is available in the current stored evidence."]},"epss":{"probability":0.00168,"percentile":0.06047,"date":"2026-10-27","stale":false},"version_assessment":null},"news":[],"campaigns":[],"domains":[{"domain":"git.kernel.org","source_url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0e0d3372a84029da1768c7a4c4601484af5b58a2","investigate_url":"https://investigate.aeglixmind.com/#git.kernel.org"}],"arsenal_url":"https://arsenal.aeglixmind.com/?cve=CVE-2026-98445","catalog_url":"https://cves.aeglixmind.com/cve/CVE-2026-98445","research_url":"https://investigate.aeglixmind.com/research/cve/CVE-2026-98445","coverage":{"news_candidates_checked":0,"campaign_candidates_checked":0,"bounded":false,"notice":"Exact CVE mentions in stored public excerpts and reviewed campaign content only.
