It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-43502 exists.\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-2026-43502/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-43502/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-43502","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-43502/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-43502","record":{"aliases":["AZL-87075","BELL-CVE-2026-43502","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-43502","GHSA-mhq7-fqmq-29pq","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-43502","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-43502","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-43502","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-43502","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-43502"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel RDS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A memory leak in the Linux kernel RDS module occurs during zerocopy send failures, potentially leading to resource exhaustion and denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-401","name":"Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet/rds: handle zerocopy send cleanup before the message is queued\n\nA zerocopy send can fail after user pages have been pinned but before\nthe message is attached to the sending socket.\n\nThe purge path currently infers zerocopy state from rm-\u003em_rs, so an\nunqueued message can be cleaned up as if it owned normal payload pages.\nHowever, zerocopy ownership is really determined by the presence of\nop_mmp_znotifier, regardless of whether the message has reached the\nsocket queue.\n\nCapture op_mmp_znotifier up front in rds_message_purge() and use it as\nthe cleanup discriminator.
