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-2026-43085 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-2026-43085/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-43085/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-43085","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-43085/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-43085","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-43085","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-43085","GHSA-rp69-c9w2-rv4p","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-43085","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-43085","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-43085","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-43085","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-43085"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A Linux kernel netfilter bug leaks stale kernel heap data to userspace via uninitialized netlink message terminators, allowing local attackers to read sensitive memory.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"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\nnetfilter: nfnetlink_log: initialize nfgenmsg in NLMSG_DONE terminator\n\nWhen batching multiple NFLOG messages (inst-\u003eqlen \u003e 1), __nfulnl_send()\nappends an NLMSG_DONE terminator with sizeof(struct nfgenmsg) payload via\nnlmsg_put(), but never initializes the nfgenmsg bytes.
