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-2026-40227 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Systemd Project Systemd. 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-2026-40227/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-40227/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-40227","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-40227/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-40227","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2026-40227","GHSA-848h-497j-8vjq","GHSA-x53v-pxf5-chx6"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"systemd init system","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A local unprivileged user can cause a denial of service in systemd by triggering an assertion failure via a malformed IPC API call.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"systemd","vendor":"systemd_project"}],"cvss":{"score":6.2,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-1025","name":"Comparison Using Wrong Factors"}],"description":"In systemd 260 before 261, a local unprivileged user can trigger an assert via an IPC API call with an array or map that has a null element.","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":"Denial of service in systemd","id":"CVE-2026-40227","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"systemd_project:systemd","products":["systemd_project:systemd"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in systemd","id":"CVE-2026-40228"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in systemd","id":"CVE-2026-40226"},"products":["systemd"],"published":"2026-04-10","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-7510","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-09-25"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-1000082","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-07-07"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-10156","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-01-23"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-9445","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-06-28"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-9217","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-05-24"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Privilege escalation in systemd","id":"CVE-2026-40224","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-10"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Privilege escalation in systemd","id":"CVE-2026-40225","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-10"}],"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-14","vendors":["systemd"]},"summary":"A local unprivileged user can cause a denial of service in systemd by triggering an assertion failure via a malformed IPC API call.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-40227/"}
