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-2026-23400 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-2026-23400/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23400/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-23400","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23400/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-23400","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-23400","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-23400","GHSA-pff6-g7ww-p3v3","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-23400"],"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 deadlock in the Linux kernel's Rust binder implementation can cause a denial of service when specific IPC commands are used on non-looper threads.","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\nrust_binder: call set_notification_done() without proc lock\n\nConsider the following sequence of events on a death listener:\n1. The remote process dies and sends a BR_DEAD_BINDER message.\n2. The local process invokes the BC_CLEAR_DEATH_NOTIFICATION command.\n3. The local process then invokes the BC_DEAD_BINDER_DONE.\nThen, the kernel will reply to the BC_DEAD_BINDER_DONE command with a\nBR_CLEAR_DEATH_NOTIFICATION_DONE reply using push_work_if_looper().\n\nHowever, this can result in a deadlock if the current thread is not a\nlooper. This is because dead_binder_done() still holds the proc lock\nduring set_notification_done(), which called push_work_if_looper().\nNormally, push_work_if_looper() takes the thread lock, which is fine to\ntake under the proc lock. But if the current thread is not a looper,\nthen it falls back to delivering the reply to the process work queue,\nwhich involves taking the proc lock. Since the proc lock is already\nheld, this is a deadlock.\n\nFix this by releasing the proc lock during set_notification_done(). It\nwas not intentional that it was held during that function to begin with.\n\nI don't think this ever happens in Android because BC_DEAD_BINDER_DONE\nis only invoked in response to BR_DEAD_BINDER messages, and the kernel\nalways delivers BR_DEAD_BINDER to a looper. So there's no scenario where\nAndroid userspace will call BC_DEAD_BINDER_DONE on a non-looper thread.","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":"rust_binder: call set_notification_done() without proc lock","id":"CVE-2026-23400","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"race_condition","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"KVM: x86/mmu: Drop/zap existing present SPTE even when creating an MMIO SPTE","id":"CVE-2026-23401"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"nf_tables: nft_dynset: fix possible stateful expression memleak in error path","id":"CVE-2026-23399"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-03-29","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 deadlock in the Linux kernel's Rust binder implementation can cause a denial of service when specific IPC commands are used on non-looper threads.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23400/"}
