Overview

CVE-2026-98660 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on October 18, 2026.

Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iio: pressure: bmp280: fix out-of-bounds access in sampling frequency lookup

The sampling frequency tables store each frequency as an integer part and

a fractional part in micro units. num_sampling_freq_avail is initialized

to the number of flattened integer elements because read_avail() returns

the table as a flat array.

bmp280_write_sampling_frequency(), however, indexes the same table as a

two-dimensional array and uses num_sampling_freq_avail as the number of

rows. Convert the flattened element count back to the number of rows

before iterating over the table.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
