CVE-2026-98577: nfc: llcp: fix WKS SAP hijacking via prefix match in nfc_llcp_wks_sap()
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 0/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.21% (FIRST EPSS).
- Fixed version: Linux Linux 0a0412745c86acd089c6460da715ab966b1615e7, 0c83a8a45fed256ccc5fe7160b436b671fc79fb8, 32b5f0b338bf59391a1cff9a6190a72c4d2c1ba8; azl3 kernel 6.6.157.1-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.159.1-1.
- Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 0a0412745c86acd089c6460da715ab966b1615e7, 0c83a8a45fed256ccc5fe7160b436b671fc79fb8, 32b5f0b338bf59391a1cff9a6190a72c4d2c1ba8; azl3 kernel 6.6.157.1-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.159.1-1 or later.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfc: llcp: fix WKS SAP hijacking via prefix match in nfc_llcp_wks_sap() nfc_llcp_wks_sap() compares only service_name_len bytes, so a short service_name like "u" matches longer WKS strings like "urn:nfc:sn:snep". Fix by requiring exact length match before strncmp().
