UBUNTU-CVE-2026-98005: Medium severity ubuntu/linux-hwe-edge vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: erofs: delimit inodeshare cache key components Previously, inodeshare keys were encoded as follows: fingerprint || domainid It would be better to have a separator between the fingerprint and domain ID so that the fingerprint won't be parsed as part of a domain ID. Change the key encoding as follows: domainid || '\0' || fingerprint Since domainid is a NUL-terminated string, this makes the in-memory key indices unambiguous.
Affected Software
Remediation
Recommended actions to resolve this vulnerability, in priority order.
- Configuration
Change inode_share cache keys from fingerprint || domain_id to domain_id || '\0' || fingerprint so the key components are unambiguous.
Linux kernel erofs inode_share cache inode_share key encoding = domain_id || '\0' || fingerprint
