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-2026-43079 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-2026-43079/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-43079/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-43079","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-43079/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-43079","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-43079","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-43079","GHSA-92q7-4p9m-x698","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-43079","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-43079","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-43079","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-43079"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker with local access can trigger an array overflow in the Linux kernel's Intel uncore driver by booting with specific CPU configurations, causing a system crash.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"integer_overflow"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nperf/x86/intel/uncore: Skip discovery table for offline dies\n\nThis warning can be triggered if NUMA is disabled and the system\nboots with fewer CPUs than the number of CPUs in die 0.\n\nWARNING: CPU: 9 PID: 7257 at uncore.c:1157 uncore_pci_pmu_register+0x136/0x160 [intel_uncore]\n\nCurrently, the discovery table continues to be parsed even if all CPUs\nin the associated die are offline.
