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-2026-23171 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-2026-23171/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23171/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-23171","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23171/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-23171","record":{"aliases":["AZL-77778","BELL-CVE-2026-23171","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-23171","GHSA-5r72-p4cv-h344","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-23171","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2026-23171","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-23171","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-23171","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-23171"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Linux kernel bonding","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A use-after-free in the Linux kernel bonding driver allows local attackers to cause a system crash or potentially execute code by triggering a race condition during slave enslave failure.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","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-416","name":"Use After Free"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nbonding: fix use-after-free due to enslave fail after slave array update\n\nFix a use-after-free which happens due to enslave failure after the new\nslave has been added to the array.
