CVE-2026-98163

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's control group (cgroup) subsystem. A local user can cause a Denial of Service (DoS) or potentially achieve privilege escalation by triggering a race condition when reading cgroup process listings while tasks are terminating. Due to improper handling of dying tasks during iteration, the kernel can reference an object whose usage counter has reached zero, resulting in a use-after-free memory flaw.
