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-2026-45915 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-2026-45915/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-45915/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-45915","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-45915/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-45915","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-45915","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-45915","GHSA-2qhg-8p2v-wf99","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-45915","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-45915","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-45915"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel FAT filesystem","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A corrupted FAT image can cause an integer underflow in the Linux kernel's rmdir operation, leading to a system crash or denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"integer_overflow"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nfat: avoid parent link count underflow in rmdir\n\nCorrupted FAT images can leave a directory inode with an incorrect\ni_nlink (e.g. 2 even though subdirectories exist). rmdir then\nunconditionally calls drop_nlink(dir) and can drive i_nlink to 0,\ntriggering the WARN_ON in drop_nlink().\n\nAdd a sanity check in vfat_rmdir() and msdos_rmdir(): only drop the\nparent link count when it is at least 3, otherwise report a filesystem\nerror.","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":"fat: avoid parent link count underflow in rmdir","id":"CVE-2026-45915","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"integer_overflow","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"power: supply: sbs-battery: Fix use-after-free in power_supply_changed()","id":"CVE-2026-45916"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Revert \"hwmon: (ibmpex) fix use-after-free in high/low store\"","id":"CVE-2026-45914"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-05-27","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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-27","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A corrupted FAT image can cause an integer underflow in the Linux kernel's rmdir operation, leading to a system crash or denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-45915/"}
