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-2026-23339 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-2026-23339/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23339/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-23339","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23339/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-23339","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-23339","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-23339","GHSA-77ph-fpqv-c298","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-23339","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-23339","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2026-23339","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-23339","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-23339","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-23339"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel NFC","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A memory leak in the Linux kernel NFC subsystem allows local attackers to exhaust system memory, potentially causing a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"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\nnfc: nci: free skb on nci_transceive early error paths\n\nnci_transceive() takes ownership of the skb passed by the caller,\nbut the -EPROTO, -EINVAL, and -EBUSY error paths return without\nfreeing it.\n\nDue to issues clearing NCI_DATA_EXCHANGE fixed by subsequent changes\nthe nci/nci_dev selftest hits the error path occasionally in NIPA,\nand kmemleak detects leaks:\n\nunreferenced object 0xff11000015ce6a40 (size 640):\n  comm \"nci_dev\", pid 3954, jiffies 4295441246\n  hex dump (first 32 bytes):\n    6b 6b 6b 6b 00 a4 00 0c 02 e1 03 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b  kkkk.......kkkkk\n    6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b  kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\n  backtrace (crc 7c40cc2a):\n    kmem_cache_alloc_node_noprof+0x492/0x630\n    __alloc_skb+0x11e/0x5f0\n    alloc_skb_with_frags+0xc6/0x8f0\n    sock_alloc_send_pskb+0x326/0x3f0\n    nfc_alloc_send_skb+0x94/0x1d0\n    rawsock_sendmsg+0x162/0x4c0\n    do_syscall_64+0x117/0xfc0","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":"nfc: nci: free skb on nci_transceive early error paths","id":"CVE-2026-23339","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"net: sched: avoid qdisc_reset_all_tx_gt() vs dequeue race for lockless qdiscs","id":"CVE-2026-23340"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"drm/amdgpu/userq: Do not allow userspace to trivially triger kernel warnings","id":"CVE-2026-23338"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-03-25","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":"2026-10-15","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A memory leak in the Linux kernel NFC subsystem allows local attackers to exhaust system memory, potentially causing a denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23339/"}
