Last modified
CVE-2026-98966 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bonding: fix the program leak when XDP is replaced We need to release the reference on the old BPF prog, whether we are going to no-prog, or replacing the prog with another. Spotted by AI while running tests for the propagation series (leaked programs were accumulating). Selftest will come in the net-next series to avoid conflicts..
