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-2026-43198 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-2026-43198/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-43198/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-43198","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-43198/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-43198","record":{"aliases":["AZL-85803","BELL-CVE-2026-43198","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-43198","GHSA-rhcj-6wxj-r34p","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-43198","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-43198","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2026-43198","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-43198","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-43198","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-43198"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel TCP IPv6 handling can lead to system instability or crashes when processing incoming connections.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"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-821","name":"Incorrect Synchronization"},{"id":"CWE-362","name":"Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ntcp: fix potential race in tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock()\n\nCode in tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock() after the call to tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock()\nis done too late.\n\nAfter tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock(), the child socket is already visible\nfrom TCP ehash table and other cpus might use it.\n\nSince newinet-\u003epinet6 is still pointing to the listener ipv6_pinfo\nbad things can happen as syzbot found.\n\nMove the problematic code in tcp_v6_mapped_child_init()\nand call this new helper from tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock() before\nthe ehash insertion.\n\nThis allows the removal of one tcp_sync_mss(), since\ntcp_v4_syn_recv_sock() will call it with the correct\ncontext.","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":"tcp: fix potential race in tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock()","id":"CVE-2026-43198","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"race_condition","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"net/mlx5e: Fix \"scheduling while atomic\" in IPsec MAC address query","id":"CVE-2026-43199"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"netconsole: avoid OOB reads, msg is not nul-terminated","id":"CVE-2026-43197"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-05-06","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":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-19","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel TCP IPv6 handling can lead to system instability or crashes when processing incoming connections.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-43198/"}
