An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-43232 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-2026-43232/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-43232/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-43232","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-43232/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-43232","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-43232","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-43232","GHSA-84hg-9fjm-pcr7","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-43232","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-43232","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-43232","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-43232"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel WAN driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel FarSync WAN driver allows attackers to cause denial of service or execute code via race conditions during device detachment.","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":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/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\nnet: wan: farsync: Fix use-after-free bugs caused by unfinished tasklets\n\nWhen the FarSync T-series card is being detached, the fst_card_info is\ndeallocated in fst_remove_one().
