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-2026-10671 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Zephyrproject Zephyr. 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-2026-10671/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-10671/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-10671","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-10671/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-10671","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-p8w8-3x99-mg8f"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Zephyr RTOS kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An unprivileged user thread can corrupt kernel wait queues by re-initializing an active pipe, leading to memory corruption and potential code execution.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"zephyr","cpe":[{"product":"zephyr","vendor":"zephyrproject"}],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-1188","name":"Initialization of a Resource with an Insecure Default"},{"id":"CWE-825","name":"Expired Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"In Zephyr's kernel pipe implementation, the userspace syscall verifier z_vrfy_k_pipe_init() in kernel/pipe.c used K_SYSCALL_OBJ() (which requires the kernel object to already be initialized) instead of K_SYSCALL_OBJ_NEVER_INIT() (which rejects an already-initialized object). As a result, on CONFIG_USERSPACE builds an unprivileged user thread that has been granted access to a k_pipe object can invoke the k_pipe_init syscall to re-initialize a pipe that is already in use.\n\nz_impl_k_pipe_init() unconditionally resets the ring buffer, sets pipe-\u003ewaiting to 0, and re-initializes both wait queues (z_waitq_init on pipe-\u003edata and pipe-\u003espace) without waking or accounting for threads currently blocked on the pipe. Any thread already pended in k_pipe_read()/k_pipe_write() is left orphaned: still marked pending with pended_on pointing at the cleared wait queue and with stale qnode_dlist links into the (now re-initialized) embedded list head.\n\nWhen such an orphaned waiter is later timed out or woken, the scheduler calls sys_dlist_remove() on its stale node, writing through dangling prev/next pointers into kernel wait-queue/scheduler structures, causing list corruption (an attacker-driven invalid kernel write), lost wakeups, indefinitely blocked threads, and silent data loss. The flaw lets a deprivileged user thread corrupt the state of a kernel object shared with other threads/partitions.\n\nThe fix switches the verifier to K_SYSCALL_OBJ_NEVER_INIT(), matching the existing k_msgq_init verifier, so a user thread can no longer re-initialize a live pipe. The vulnerable code shipped in v4.1.0 and remained through v4.4.0.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"User thread can re-initialize an in-use `k_pipe`, corrupting kernel wait queues (`CONFIG_USERSPACE`)","id":"CVE-2026-10671","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"zephyrproject:zephyr","products":["zephyrproject:zephyr"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Unterminated URI buffer causes out-of-bounds read in LwM2M firmware pull (Package URI)","id":"CVE-2026-10672"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"User-triggerable kernel NULL-pointer dereference (DoS) in `k_thread_name_copy()` syscall verifier","id":"CVE-2026-10670"},"products":["zephyr"],"published":"2026-07-14","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Out-of-bounds read/write in HTTP WebSocket upgrade via non-null-terminated Sec-WebSocket-Key","id":"CVE-2026-5067","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Bluetooth HCI Error Handling Double Free","id":"CVE-2022-3806","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-01-19"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in getaddrinfo","id":"CVE-2017-14199","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-04-12"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-1000800","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-09-06"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"DOS: Incorrect handling of the initial HCI ACL_MTU handshake packet leads to crash of bluetooth host layer","id":"CVE-2021-3329","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-26"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"DoS: Invalid Initialization in le_read_buffer_size_complete","id":"CVE-2023-0397","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-01-19"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Usb bluetooth device ACL read cb buffer overflow","id":"CVE-2021-3966","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-01-11"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-15","vendors":["zephyrproject"]},"summary":"An unprivileged user thread can corrupt kernel wait queues by re-initializing an active pipe, leading to memory corruption and potential code execution.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-10671/"}
