It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-43076 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-2026-43076/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-43076/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-43076","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-43076/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-43076","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-43076","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-43076","GHSA-w594-5gj3-f9g6","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-43076","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-43076","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-43076","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-43076","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-43076"],"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 filesystem","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's OCFS2 filesystem allows attackers to execute code or cause a denial of service via a corrupted filesystem image.","user_interaction":"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:N/UI:R/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\nocfs2: validate inline data i_size during inode read\n\nWhen reading an inode from disk, ocfs2_validate_inode_block() performs\nvarious sanity checks but does not validate the size of inline data.  If\nthe filesystem is corrupted, an inode's i_size can exceed the actual\ninline data capacity (id_count).\n\nThis causes ocfs2_dir_foreach_blk_id() to iterate beyond the inline data\nbuffer, triggering a use-after-free when accessing directory entries from\nfreed memory.\n\nIn the syzbot report:\n  - i_size was 1099511627576 bytes (~1TB)\n  - Actual inline data capacity (id_count) is typically \u003c256 bytes\n  - A garbage rec_len (54648) caused ctx-\u003epos to jump out of bounds\n  - This triggered a UAF in ocfs2_check_dir_entry()\n\nFix by adding a validation check in ocfs2_validate_inode_block() to ensure\ninodes with inline data have i_size \u003c= id_count.
