An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-23459 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-2026-23459/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23459/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-23459","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23459/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-23459","record":{"aliases":["AZL-103419","BELL-CVE-2026-23459","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-23459","GHSA-gv4g-88q2-j2qq","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-23459"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A memory corruption issue in the Linux kernel's IP tunnel handling can cause system freezes or corruption on 32-bit kernels.","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":8.2,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nip_tunnel: adapt iptunnel_xmit_stats() to NETDEV_PCPU_STAT_DSTATS\n\nBlamed commits forgot that vxlan/geneve use udp_tunnel[6]_xmit_skb() which\ncall iptunnel_xmit_stats().\n\niptunnel_xmit_stats() was assuming tunnels were only using\nNETDEV_PCPU_STAT_TSTATS.\n\n@syncp offset in pcpu_sw_netstats and pcpu_dstats is different.\n\n32bit kernels would either have corruptions or freezes if the syncp\nsequence was overwritten.\n\nThis patch also moves pcpu_stat_type closer to dev-\u003e{t,d}stats to avoid\na potential cache line miss since iptunnel_xmit_stats() needs to read it.","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":"ip_tunnel: adapt iptunnel_xmit_stats() to NETDEV_PCPU_STAT_DSTATS","id":"CVE-2026-23459","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":5,"next":{"headline":"net/rose: fix NULL pointer dereference in rose_transmit_link on reconnect","id":"CVE-2026-23460"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"netfilter: ctnetlink: fix use-after-free in ctnetlink_dump_exp_ct()","id":"CVE-2026-23458"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-04-03","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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-21","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A memory corruption issue in the Linux kernel's IP tunnel handling can cause system freezes or corruption on 32-bit kernels.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23459/"}
