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-2026-44931 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: gnome malcontent. 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-2026-44931/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-44931/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-44931","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-44931/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-44931","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9jrh-5pwj-wfmp","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-44931"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux parental control","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can exhaust disk space via a globally accessible D-Bus API in malcontent, causing denial of service on Linux systems.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"suse","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-770","name":"Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling"}],"description":"The newly introduced  RecordUsage D-Bus method https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pwithnall/malcontent/-/blob/0.14.0/libmalcontent-timer/child-timer-service.c  in\nmalcontent-timerd allows arbitrary users in the system to slowly fill up disk space\nin /var/lib/malcontent-timerd","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"malcontent: Disk Space Exhaustion via Globally Accessible D-Bus API","id":"CVE-2026-44931","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"indirect remote shell command injection via unsanitized DHCP options in wicked","id":"CVE-2026-44932"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Apache CXF: LDAP Injection vulnerability in XKMS LDAP Repository","id":"CVE-2026-44930"},"products":["malcontent"],"published":"2026-05-13","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-13","vendors":["gnome"]},"summary":"An attacker can exhaust disk space via a globally accessible D-Bus API in malcontent, causing denial of service on Linux systems.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-44931/"}
