It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-8890 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Debian Debian Linux. 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-2017-8890/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8890/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-8890","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8890/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-8890","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2017-8890","GHSA-j35c-g8jq-8cr6","UBUNTU-CVE-2017-8890"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can cause a denial of service via double free in the Linux kernel's inet_csk_clone_lock function using the accept system call.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-415","name":"Double Free"}],"description":"The inet_csk_clone_lock function in net/ipv4/inet_connection_sock.c in the Linux kernel through 4.10.15 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (double free) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging use of the accept system call.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2017-07-09","github_poc":4,"max_poc_stars":36,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2018-07-02T02:21:28Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/thinkycx/CVE-2017-8890","stars":36,"title":null},{"date":"2017-07-09T06:03:37Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/beraphin/CVE-2017-8890","stars":22,"title":"None"},{"date":"2019-05-03T04:14:17Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/7043mcgeep/cve-2017-8890-msf","stars":0,"title":"For Metasploit pull request"},{"date":"2026-07-30T13:18:56Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/sweatyrocket/huawei-p10-cve-2017-8890-unlock","stars":0,"title":"Huawei P10 VTR-L29C432B151 CVE-2017-8890 exploit research and bootloader-unlock journey"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-8890","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"debian:debian_linux","products":["debian:debian_linux","linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":9,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-8891"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Dolibarr allows password changes without supplying the current password","id":"CVE-2017-8879"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-05-10","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"ProFTPD Improper Access Control","id":"CVE-2015-3306","kev_date_added":"2026-10-08","published":"2015-05-18"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"RoundCube Webmail Deserialization of Untrusted Data","id":"CVE-2025-49113","kev_date_added":"2026-02-20","published":"2025-06-02"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"GNU InetUtils Argument Injection","id":"CVE-2026-24061","kev_date_added":"2026-01-26","published":"2026-01-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions","id":"CVE-2025-39682","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-09-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Mozilla Firefox Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2024-9680","kev_date_added":"2024-10-15","published":"2024-10-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"RARLAB UnRAR Directory Traversal","id":"CVE-2022-30333","kev_date_added":"2022-08-09","published":"2022-05-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Roundcube Webmail SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2021-44026","kev_date_added":"2023-06-22","published":"2021-11-19"}],"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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can cause a denial of service via double free in the Linux kernel's inet_csk_clone_lock function using the accept system call.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8890/"}
