It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2006-5701 exists.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-5701/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-5701/index.md)","id":"CVE-2006-5701","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-5701/index.md","name":"CVE-2006-5701","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gvhq-rx59-r69c"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel module","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Local attackers can cause a denial of service by mounting a crafted squashfs filesystem, exploiting a double free vulnerability in the Linux kernel.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"},{"product":"fedora_core","vendor":"redhat"}],"cvss":{"score":4.9,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Double free vulnerability in squashfs module in the Linux kernel 2.6.x, as used in Fedora Core 5 and possibly other distributions, allows local users to cause a denial of service by mounting a crafted squashfs filesystem.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2006-11-02","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2006-11-02","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"28895","stars":null,"title":"Linux Kernel 2.6.x - SquashFS Double-Free Denial of Service"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-5701","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel","redhat:fedora_core"],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2006"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":9,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-5702"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2006-5700"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2006-11-03","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2026-53266","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2026-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2013-6282","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-11-19"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2022-0185","kev_date_added":"2024-08-21","published":"2022-02-11"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2013-2094","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-05-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Unspecified","id":"CVE-2026-53362","kev_date_added":"2026-08-27","published":"2026-07-04"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Missing Initialization of a Variable","id":"CVE-2026-46300","kev_date_added":"2026-10-28","published":"2026-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Race Condition","id":"CVE-2025-39964","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-10-13"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can cause a denial of service by mounting a crafted squashfs filesystem, exploiting a double free vulnerability in the Linux kernel.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-5701/"}
