CVE-2026-98113 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: rate limit unmapped SID errors A client can include many structurally valid but unmapped SIDs in a DACL. Logging every mapping failure lets one request generate hundreds of kernel error messages. Rate limit the message to prevent an authenticated client from flooding the kernel log.. EPSS estimates a 0.21% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
