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-2026-43253 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-2026-43253/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-43253/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-43253","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-43253/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-43253","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-43253","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-43253","GHSA-jqx2-5f2v-644h","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-43253","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-43253","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-43253","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-43253","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-43253"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A Linux kernel bug causes soft lockups during IOMMU operations when strict mode is enabled, leading to system unavailability.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-667","name":"Improper Locking"},{"id":"CWE-833","name":"Deadlock"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\niommu/amd: move wait_on_sem() out of spinlock\n\nWith iommu.strict=1, the existing completion wait path can cause soft\nlockups under stressed environment, as wait_on_sem() busy-waits under the\nspinlock with interrupts disabled.\n\nMove the completion wait in iommu_completion_wait() out of the spinlock.\nwait_on_sem() only polls the hardware-updated cmd_sem and does not require\niommu-\u003elock, so holding the lock during the busy wait unnecessarily\nincreases contention and extends the time with interrupts disabled.","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":"iommu/amd: move wait_on_sem() out of spinlock","id":"CVE-2026-43253","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"ovpn: tcp - fix packet extraction from stream","id":"CVE-2026-43254"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"mptcp: pm: in-kernel: always set ID as avail when rm endp","id":"CVE-2026-43252"},"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":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-19","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A Linux kernel bug causes soft lockups during IOMMU operations when strict mode is enabled, leading to system unavailability.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-43253/"}
