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-2026-23234 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-2026-23234/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23234/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-23234","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23234/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-23234","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-23234","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-23234","GHSA-chrj-6658-798c","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-23234","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-23234","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2026-23234","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-23234","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-23234","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-23234"],"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 f2fs filesystem allows local attackers to potentially execute code or escalate privileges via a race condition during unmount.","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":"nvd","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\nf2fs: fix to avoid UAF in f2fs_write_end_io()\n\nAs syzbot reported an use-after-free issue in f2fs_write_end_io().\n\nIt is caused by below race condition:\n\nloop device\t\t\t\tumount\n- worker_thread\n - loop_process_work\n  - do_req_filebacked\n   - lo_rw_aio\n    - lo_rw_aio_complete\n     - blk_mq_end_request\n      - blk_update_request\n       - f2fs_write_end_io\n        - dec_page_count\n        - folio_end_writeback\n\t\t\t\t\t- kill_f2fs_super\n\t\t\t\t\t - kill_block_super\n\t\t\t\t\t  - f2fs_put_super\n\t\t\t\t\t : free(sbi)\n       : get_pages(, F2FS_WB_CP_DATA)\n         accessed sbi which is freed\n\nIn kill_f2fs_super(), we will drop all page caches of f2fs inodes before\ncall free(sbi), it guarantee that all folios should end its writeback, so\nit should be safe to access sbi before last folio_end_writeback().\n\nLet's relocate ckpt thread wakeup flow before folio_end_writeback() to\nresolve this issue.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"f2fs: fix to avoid UAF in f2fs_write_end_io()","id":"CVE-2026-23234","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"f2fs: fix out-of-bounds access in sysfs attribute read/write","id":"CVE-2026-23235"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"f2fs: fix to avoid mapping wrong physical block for swapfile","id":"CVE-2026-23233"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-03-04","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2026-53266","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2026-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2013-6282","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-11-19"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2022-0185","kev_date_added":"2024-08-21","published":"2022-02-11"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2013-2094","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-05-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Unspecified","id":"CVE-2026-53362","kev_date_added":"2026-08-27","published":"2026-07-04"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Missing Initialization of a Variable","id":"CVE-2026-46300","kev_date_added":"2026-10-28","published":"2026-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Race Condition","id":"CVE-2025-39964","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-10-13"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-11","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's f2fs filesystem allows local attackers to potentially execute code or escalate privileges via a race condition during unmount.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23234/"}
