Vulnerability description

DayBreach CVE AI Research

CVE-2026-98489 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: atl1c: fix soft lockup on out-of-range tpd_cons read The hardware can report an out-of-range tpd_cons (seen as 0xffff) while the PCIe link/MAC is resetting. An out-of-range value can never be reached and the loop below would spin forever. To avoid a soft lockup treat it as "nothing new to clean" instead. Reproduced on two machines, same NIC (Qualcomm Atheros AR8151 v2.0, 4-port), triggered by rebooting a Mikrotik CCR2004 PCIe card that the ports are directly linked to: - Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS, kernel 7.0.0-31-generic. The link-flap precursor, before the lockup was captured with a full trace elsewhere: atl1c 0000:05:00.0 enp5s0f0: NETDEV WATCHDOG: CPU: 4: transmit queue 2 timed out 489984 ms atl1c 0000:05:00.0: MAC state machine can't be idle since disabled for 10ms second atl1c 0000:05:00.0: atl1c: enp5s0f0 NIC Link is Up<65535 Mbps Full Duplex> 65535 (0xffff) here is the same value tpd_cons reads back once the loop below gets stuck. - Proxmox VE, kernel 7.0.14-11-pve. Same NIC/trigger, this time caught by the soft lockup watchdog with a full stack trace: watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#12 stuck for 354s!
