Since this is not a cloud service, manual patching is required. Patch status is confirmed by the presence of fixed commit hashes.
Description
CVE-2026-98660 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's bmp280 pressure sensor driver where an out-of-bounds access occurs due to incorrect indexing of the sampling frequency lookup table. The issue arises because the code treats a flattened array as a two-dimensional array without properly converting the element count to the number of rows. This flaw has been fixed in specific Linux kernel commits.
