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-2026-45251 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Freebsd Freebsd. 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-2026-45251/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-45251/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-45251","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-45251/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-45251","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wp9w-fp98-2cxm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"FreeBSD kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An unprivileged local user can exploit a use-after-free in the FreeBSD kernel to gain superuser privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"freebsd","cpe":[{"product":"freebsd","vendor":"freebsd"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","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-416","name":"Use After Free"}],"description":"A file descriptor can be closed while a thread is blocked in a poll(2) or select(2) call waiting for that descriptor.  Because the blocked thread does not hold a reference to the underlying object, this closure may result in the object being freed while the thread remains blocked.  In this situation, the kernel must remove the blocked thread from the per-object wait queue prior to freeing the object.\n\nIn the case of some file descriptor types, the kernel failed to unlink blocked threads from the object before freeing it.  When the blocked thread is subsequently woken, it accesses memory that has already been freed resulting in a use-after-free vulnerability.\n\nThe use-after-free vulnerability may be triggered by an unprivileged local user and can be exploited to obtain superuser privileges.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Kernel use-after-free via file descriptor syscalls","id":"CVE-2026-45251","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"freebsd:freebsd","products":["freebsd:freebsd"],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Heap overflow in FUSE_LISTXATTR","id":"CVE-2026-45252"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Stack buffer overflow via setcred(2)","id":"CVE-2026-45250"},"products":["FreeBSD"],"published":"2026-05-21","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in FreeBSD","id":"CVE-2018-17160","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-12-04"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-3954","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-10-27"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-4304","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-08-24"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-0226","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-01-19"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0002","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-02-03"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0969","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-03-09"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0388","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-09-18"}],"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-22","vendors":["FreeBSD"]},"summary":"An unprivileged local user can exploit a use-after-free in the FreeBSD kernel to gain superuser privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-45251/"}
