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-2026-31444 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-2026-31444/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31444/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-31444","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31444/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-31444","record":{"aliases":["AZL-83324","BELL-CVE-2026-31444","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-31444","GHSA-8vw8-r4jr-vp93","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-31444"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel ksmbd","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A use-after-free and NULL dereference in the Linux kernel ksmbd module allows attackers to cause denial of service or potentially execute code.","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":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/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\nksmbd: fix use-after-free and NULL deref in smb_grant_oplock()\n\nsmb_grant_oplock() has two issues in the oplock publication sequence:\n\n1) opinfo is linked into ci-\u003em_op_list (via opinfo_add) before\n   add_lease_global_list() is called.  If add_lease_global_list()\n   fails (kmalloc returns NULL), the error path frees the opinfo\n   via __free_opinfo() while it is still linked in ci-\u003em_op_list.\n   Concurrent m_op_list readers (opinfo_get_list, or direct iteration\n   in smb_break_all_levII_oplock) dereference the freed node.\n\n2) opinfo-\u003eo_fp is assigned after add_lease_global_list() publishes\n   the opinfo on the global lease list.  A concurrent\n   find_same_lease_key() can walk the lease list and dereference\n   opinfo-\u003eo_fp-\u003ef_ci while o_fp is still NULL.\n\nFix by restructuring the publication sequence to eliminate post-publish\nfailure:\n\n- Set opinfo-\u003eo_fp before any list publication (fixes NULL deref).\n- Preallocate lease_table via alloc_lease_table() before opinfo_add()\n  so add_lease_global_list() becomes infallible after publication.\n- Keep the original m_op_list publication order (opinfo_add before\n  lease list) so concurrent opens via same_client_has_lease() and\n  opinfo_get_list() still see the in-flight grant.\n- Use opinfo_put() instead of __free_opinfo() on err_out so that\n  the RCU-deferred free path is used.\n\nThis also requires splitting add_lease_global_list() to take a\npreallocated lease_table and changing its return type from int to void,\nsince it can no longer fail.","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":"ksmbd: fix use-after-free and NULL deref in smb_grant_oplock()","id":"CVE-2026-31444","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":5,"next":{"headline":"mm/damon/core: avoid use of half-online-committed context","id":"CVE-2026-31445"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"dmaengine: idxd: Fix crash when the event log is disabled","id":"CVE-2026-31443"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-04-22","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 use-after-free and NULL dereference in the Linux kernel ksmbd module allows attackers to cause denial of service or potentially execute code.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31444/"}
