CVE-2026-98960 records a Unknown severity vulnerability in btrfs: don't stash io_uring encoded data across -EAGAIN. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. The current feed maps Linux/Linux (generic), Linux/Linux (generic). Check affected ranges and fixed versions before updating.
Analysis pending evidence review
HOL Guard separates source facts from reviewed analysis. See the methodology.
A CVSS score is not reported in the current record. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. Treat this as a source-backed prioritization signal, not a statement about your environment.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: don't stash io_uring encoded data across -EAGAIN Returning -EAGAIN while leaving btrfs_uring_encoded_data in the cmd PDU leaks if the request is cancelled or the ring exits before reissue. io_uring does not free driver PDU allocations on cleanup. Write: io_queue_sqe() always issues with IO_URING_F_NONBLOCK first, so return -EAGAIN before allocating and free data on every exit. Read: free on nowait -EAGAIN too; only -EIOCBQUEUED keeps the allocation for btrfs_uring_read_finished().
