Vulnerability description
DayBreach CVE AI Research
CVE-2026-98239 has vendor, distribution, patch and security-source records on file. We can compare them and prepare an explanation linked to the evidence.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: lan743x: fix RX checksum use-after-free lan743x_rx_process_buffer() adds each non-first receive buffer to the head skb's frag_list. On the last descriptor, lan743x_rx_trim_skb() linearizes the head and frees the fragment skb metadata. The checksum-success path then writes ip_summed through the local skb pointer, which still points to the final fragment. This causes a use-after-free write when a packet spans more than one receive buffer. Set ip_summed on the surviving head skb instead. Multi-buffer receive can occur after a live MTU increase because existing ring entries keep their old buffer size until they are replenished. A KUnit test invoking lan743x_rx_process_buffer() with a two-buffer packet produced a one-byte KASAN use-after-free write before this change. The same test passed after the change. The driver object also builds with W=1. This was not tested on physical LAN743x hardware.
