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-2026-23441 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-2026-23441/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23441/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-23441","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23441/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-23441","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-23441","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-23441","GHSA-c26h-gxpc-728g","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2026-23441","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-23441","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-23441"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["other"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel mlx5e IPSec driver allows concurrent access to shared DMA contexts, potentially causing incorrect results or unexpected behavior.","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":4.7,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-362","name":"Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet/mlx5e: Prevent concurrent access to IPSec ASO context\n\nThe query or updating IPSec offload object is through Access ASO WQE.\nThe driver uses a single mlx5e_ipsec_aso struct for each PF, which\ncontains a shared DMA-mapped context for all ASO operations.\n\nA race condition exists because the ASO spinlock is released before\nthe hardware has finished processing WQE.
