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-2026-45914 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-2026-45914/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-45914/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-45914","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-45914/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-45914","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-45914","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-45914","GHSA-wf7m-gffh-f29c","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-45914","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-45914","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-45914"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A use-after-free vulnerability in the ibmpex hwmon driver can cause a kernel crash when sensor attributes are removed concurrently with reads.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","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":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nRevert \"hwmon: (ibmpex) fix use-after-free in high/low store\"\n\nThis reverts commit 6946c726c3f4c36f0f049e6f97e88c510b15f65d.\n\nJean Delvare points out that the patch does not completely\nfix the reported problem, that it in fact introduces a\n(new) race condition, and that it may actually not be needed in\nthe first place.\n\nVarious AI reviews agree.
