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-2026-23144 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-2026-23144/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23144/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-23144","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23144/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-23144","record":{"aliases":["AZL-77685","BELL-CVE-2026-23144","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-23144","GHSA-chwm-55mq-46m4","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-23144","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-23144"],"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 failure in DAMON sysfs directory setup causes resource leaks and breaks the interface, leading to denial of service until reboot.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-401","name":"Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nmm/damon/sysfs: cleanup attrs subdirs on context dir setup failure\n\nWhen a context DAMON sysfs directory setup is failed after setup of attrs/\ndirectory, subdirectories of attrs/ directory are not cleaned up.
