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-2026-23199 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-2026-23199/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23199/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-23199","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23199/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-23199","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-23199","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-23199","GHSA-hjgx-24cq-764x","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2026-23199","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-23199"],"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 race condition in the Linux kernel procfs subsystem can cause a deadlock, leading to a 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":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-667","name":"Improper Locking"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nprocfs: avoid fetching build ID while holding VMA lock\n\nFix PROCMAP_QUERY to fetch optional build ID only after dropping mmap_lock\nor per-VMA lock, whichever was used to lock VMA under question, to avoid\ndeadlock reported by syzbot:\n\n -\u003e #1 (\u0026mm-\u003emmap_lock){++++}-{4:4}:\n        __might_fault+0xed/0x170\n        _copy_to_iter+0x118/0x1720\n        copy_page_to_iter+0x12d/0x1e0\n        filemap_read+0x720/0x10a0\n        blkdev_read_iter+0x2b5/0x4e0\n        vfs_read+0x7f4/0xae0\n        ksys_read+0x12a/0x250\n        do_syscall_64+0xcb/0xf80\n        entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f\n\n -\u003e #0 (\u0026sb-\u003es_type-\u003ei_mutex_key#8){++++}-{4:4}:\n        __lock_acquire+0x1509/0x26d0\n        lock_acquire+0x185/0x340\n        down_read+0x98/0x490\n        blkdev_read_iter+0x2a7/0x4e0\n        __kernel_read+0x39a/0xa90\n        freader_fetch+0x1d5/0xa80\n        __build_id_parse.isra.0+0xea/0x6a0\n        do_procmap_query+0xd75/0x1050\n        procfs_procmap_ioctl+0x7a/0xb0\n        __x64_sys_ioctl+0x18e/0x210\n        do_syscall_64+0xcb/0xf80\n        entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f\n\n other info that might help us debug this:\n\n  Possible unsafe locking scenario:\n\n        CPU0                    CPU1\n        ----                    ----\n   rlock(\u0026mm-\u003emmap_lock);\n                                lock(\u0026sb-\u003es_type-\u003ei_mutex_key#8);\n                                lock(\u0026mm-\u003emmap_lock);\n   rlock(\u0026sb-\u003es_type-\u003ei_mutex_key#8);\n\n  *** DEADLOCK ***\n\nThis seems to be exacerbated (as we haven't seen these syzbot reports\nbefore that) by the recent:\n\n\t777a8560fd29 (\"lib/buildid: use __kernel_read() for sleepable context\")\n\nTo make this safe, we need to grab file refcount while VMA is still locked, but\nother than that everything is pretty straightforward.
