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-2026-31403 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-2026-31403/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31403/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-31403","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31403/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-31403","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-31403","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-31403","GHSA-85m5-f4f3-q6f5","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-31403","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-31403","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2026-31403","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-31403","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-31403","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-31403"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel NFSD module allows attackers to cause denial of service or execute code via race conditions during network namespace teardown.","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\nNFSD: Hold net reference for the lifetime of /proc/fs/nfs/exports fd\n\nThe /proc/fs/nfs/exports proc entry is created at module init\nand persists for the module's lifetime. exports_proc_open()\ncaptures the caller's current network namespace and stores\nits svc_export_cache in seq-\u003eprivate, but takes no reference\non the namespace.
