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-2026-46033 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-2026-46033/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-46033/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-46033","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-46033/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-46033","record":{"aliases":["AZL-88428","BELL-CVE-2026-46033","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-46033","GHSA-f7w2-rj2f-73q3","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-46033","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-46033","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-46033","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-46033","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-46033"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel crypto","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A flaw in the Linux kernel's authencesn crypto module allows out-of-bounds access via short digests, potentially leading to code execution or denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-1284","name":"Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input"},{"id":"CWE-125","name":"Out-of-bounds Read"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ncrypto: authencesn - reject short ahash digests during instance creation\n\nauthencesn requires either a zero authsize or an authsize of at least\n4 bytes because the ESN encrypt/decrypt paths always move 4 bytes of\nhigh-order sequence number data at the end of the authenticated data.\n\nWhile crypto_authenc_esn_setauthsize() already rejects explicit\nnon-zero authsizes in the range 1..3, crypto_authenc_esn_create()\nstill copied auth-\u003edigestsize into inst-\u003ealg.maxauthsize without\nvalidating it.
