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-2026-23118 in the wild and no public exploit code.\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-2026-23118/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23118/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-23118","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23118/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-23118","record":{"aliases":["AZL-77691","BELL-CVE-2026-23118","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-23118","GHSA-p8gw-hvf3-xmc4","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-23118","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-23118","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-23118","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-23118","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-23118"],"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":"A data race in the Linux kernel's rxrpc module can cause load/store tearing, potentially leading to system instability or denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":4.7,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-362","name":"Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nrxrpc: Fix data-race warning and potential load/store tearing\n\nFix the following:\n\n        BUG: KCSAN: data-race in rxrpc_peer_keepalive_worker / rxrpc_send_data_packet\n\nwhich is reporting an issue with the reads and writes to -\u003elast_tx_at in:\n\n        conn-\u003epeer-\u003elast_tx_at = ktime_get_seconds();\n\nand:\n\n        keepalive_at = peer-\u003elast_tx_at + RXRPC_KEEPALIVE_TIME;\n\nThe lockless accesses to these to values aren't actually a problem as the\nread only needs an approximate time of last transmission for the purposes\nof deciding whether or not the transmission of a keepalive packet is\nwarranted yet.\n\nAlso, as -\u003elast_tx_at is a 64-bit value, tearing can occur on a 32-bit\narch.\n\nFix both of these by switching to an unsigned int for -\u003elast_tx_at and only\nstoring the LSW of the time64_t.
