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-2026-23408 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-2026-23408/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23408/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-23408","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23408/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-23408","record":{"aliases":["AZL-82028","BELL-CVE-2026-23408","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-23408","GHSA-qcx9-4fj7-jf29","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-23408"],"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 AppArmor","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A double free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's AppArmor module allows attackers to potentially execute arbitrary code or escalate privileges.","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-415","name":"Double Free"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\napparmor: Fix double free of ns_name in aa_replace_profiles()\n\nif ns_name is NULL after\n1071         error = aa_unpack(udata, \u0026lh, \u0026ns_name);\n\nand if ent-\u003ens_name contains an ns_name in\n1089                 } else if (ent-\u003ens_name) {\n\nthen ns_name is assigned the ent-\u003ens_name\n1095                         ns_name = ent-\u003ens_name;\n\nhowever ent-\u003ens_name is freed at\n1262                 aa_load_ent_free(ent);\n\nand then again when freeing ns_name at\n1270         kfree(ns_name);\n\nFix this by NULLing out ent-\u003ens_name after it is transferred to ns_name\n\n\")","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":"apparmor: Fix double free of ns_name in aa_replace_profiles()","id":"CVE-2026-23408","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":"apparmor: fix differential encoding verification","id":"CVE-2026-23409"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"apparmor: fix missing bounds check on DEFAULT table in verify_dfa()","id":"CVE-2026-23407"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-04-01","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":"2026-08-05","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A double free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's AppArmor module allows attackers to potentially execute arbitrary code or escalate privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23408/"}
