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-2026-23351 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-2026-23351/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23351/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-23351","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23351/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-23351","record":{"aliases":["AZL-80670","BELL-CVE-2026-23351","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-23351","GHSA-42q3-4jmh-pwqx","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-23351","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-23351","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2026-23351","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-23351","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-23351","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-23351"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel netfilter","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A use-after-free in the Linux kernel netfilter pipapo set type allows local attackers to cause a denial of service via soft lockups or RCU stalls.","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\nnetfilter: nft_set_pipapo: split gc into unlink and reclaim phase\n\nYiming Qian reports Use-after-free in the pipapo set type:\n  Under a large number of expired elements, commit-time GC can run for a very\n  long time in a non-preemptible context, triggering soft lockup warnings and\n  RCU stall reports (local denial of service).\n\nWe must split GC in an unlink and a reclaim phase.\n\nWe cannot queue elements for freeing until pointers have been swapped.\nExpired elements are still exposed to both the packet path and userspace\ndumpers via the live copy of the data structure.\n\ncall_rcu() does not protect us: dump operations or element lookups starting\nafter call_rcu has fired can still observe the free'd element, unless the\ncommit phase has made enough progress to swap the clone and live pointers\nbefore any new reader has picked up the old version.\n\nThis a similar approach as done recently for the rbtree backend in commit\n35f83a75529a (\"netfilter: nft_set_rbtree: don't gc elements on insert\").","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":"netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: split gc into unlink and reclaim phase","id":"CVE-2026-23351","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":"x86/efi: defer freeing of boot services memory","id":"CVE-2026-23352"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"drm/xe/queue: Call fini on exec queue creation fail","id":"CVE-2026-23350"},"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-19","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A use-after-free in the Linux kernel netfilter pipapo set type allows local attackers to cause a denial of service via soft lockups or RCU stalls.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23351/"}
