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-2026-45984 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-2026-45984/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-45984/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-45984","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-45984/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-45984","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-45984","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-45984","GHSA-c7gf-37rm-rpg6","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-45984","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-45984","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-45984","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-45984"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A use-after-free in the Linux kernel GFS2 filesystem allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or escalate privileges via inline data writes.","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":"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-416","name":"Use After Free"},{"id":"CWE-826","name":"Premature Release of Resource During Expected Lifetime"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ngfs2: Fix use-after-free in iomap inline data write path\n\nThe inline data buffer head (dibh) is being released prematurely in\ngfs2_iomap_begin() via release_metapath() while iomap-\u003einline_data\nstill points to dibh-\u003eb_data. This causes a use-after-free when\niomap_write_end_inline() later attempts to write to the inline data\narea.\n\nThe bug sequence:\n1. gfs2_iomap_begin() calls gfs2_meta_inode_buffer() to read inode\n   metadata into dibh\n2. Sets iomap-\u003einline_data = dibh-\u003eb_data + sizeof(struct gfs2_dinode)\n3. Calls release_metapath() which calls brelse(dibh), dropping refcount\n   to 0\n4. kswapd reclaims the page (~39ms later in the syzbot report)\n5. iomap_write_end_inline() tries to memcpy() to iomap-\u003einline_data\n6. KASAN detects use-after-free write to freed memory\n\nFix by storing dibh in iomap-\u003eprivate and incrementing its refcount\nwith get_bh() in gfs2_iomap_begin(). The buffer is then properly\nreleased in gfs2_iomap_end() after the inline write completes,\nensuring the page stays alive for the entire iomap operation.\n\nNote: A C reproducer is not available for this issue. The fix is based\non analysis of the KASAN report and code review showing the buffer head\nis freed before use.\n\n[agruenba: Take buffer head reference in gfs2_iomap_begin() to avoid\nleaks in gfs2_iomap_get() and gfs2_iomap_alloc().]","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":"gfs2: Fix use-after-free in iomap inline data write path","id":"CVE-2026-45984","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"ext4: don't set EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_CONVERT when splitting before submitting I/O","id":"CVE-2026-45985"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"nfsd: never defer requests during idmap lookup","id":"CVE-2026-45983"},"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":"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":"2026-10-19","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A use-after-free in the Linux kernel GFS2 filesystem allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or escalate privileges via inline data writes.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-45984/"}
