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-2026-23195 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-2026-23195/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23195/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-23195","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23195/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-23195","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-23195","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-23195","GHSA-xcg5-9p3p-fgrj","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-23195"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's cgroup/dmem subsystem allows local attackers to potentially execute code or escalate privileges.","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,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/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\ncgroup/dmem: avoid pool UAF\n\nAn UAF issue was observed:\n\nBUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in page_counter_uncharge+0x65/0x150\nWrite of size 8 at addr ffff888106715440 by task insmod/527\n\nCPU: 4 UID: 0 PID: 527 Comm: insmod    6.19.0-rc7-next-20260129+ #11\nTainted: [O]=OOT_MODULE\nCall Trace:\n\u003cTASK\u003e\ndump_stack_lvl+0x82/0xd0\nkasan_report+0xca/0x100\nkasan_check_range+0x39/0x1c0\npage_counter_uncharge+0x65/0x150\ndmem_cgroup_uncharge+0x1f/0x260\n\nAllocated by task 527:\n\nFreed by task 0:\n\nThe buggy address belongs to the object at ffff888106715400\nwhich belongs to the cache kmalloc-512 of size 512\nThe buggy address is located 64 bytes inside of\nfreed 512-byte region [ffff888106715400, ffff888106715600)\n\nThe buggy address belongs to the physical page:\n\nMemory state around the buggy address:\nffff888106715300: fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc\nffff888106715380: fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc\n\u003effff888106715400: fa fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb\n\t\t\t\t     ^\nffff888106715480: fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb\nffff888106715500: fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb\n\nThe issue occurs because a pool can still be held by a caller after its\nassociated memory region is unregistered.
