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-2026-46227 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-2026-46227/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-46227/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-46227","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-46227/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-46227","record":{"aliases":["AZL-88899","BELL-CVE-2026-46227","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-46227","GHSA-rg55-jvw9-p7m7","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-46227","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-46227","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-46227","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-46227","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-46227"],"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 SCTP","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel SCTP implementation allows local attackers to achieve code execution or privilege escalation via race conditions.","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-367","name":"Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition"},{"id":"CWE-362","name":"Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nsctp: revalidate list cursor after sctp_sendmsg_to_asoc() in SCTP_SENDALL\n\nThe SCTP_SENDALL path in sctp_sendmsg() iterates ep-\u003easocs with\nlist_for_each_entry_safe(), which caches the next entry in @tmp before\nthe loop body runs.  The body calls sctp_sendmsg_to_asoc(), which may\ndrop the socket lock inside sctp_wait_for_sndbuf().\n\nWhile the lock is dropped, another thread can SCTP_SOCKOPT_PEELOFF the\nassociation cached in @tmp, migrating it to a new endpoint via\nsctp_sock_migrate() (list_del_init() + list_add_tail() to\nnewep-\u003easocs), and optionally close the new socket which frees the\nassociation via kfree_rcu().  The cached @tmp can also be freed by a\nnetwork ABORT for that association, processed in softirq while the\nlock is dropped.\n\nsctp_wait_for_sndbuf() revalidates @asoc (the current entry) on re-lock\nvia the \"sk != asoc-\u003ebase.sk\" and \"asoc-\u003ebase.dead\" checks, but nothing\nrevalidates @tmp.  After a successful return, the iterator advances to\nthe stale @tmp, yielding either a use-after-free (if the peeled socket\nwas closed) or a list-walk onto the new endpoint's list head (type\nconfusion of \u0026newep-\u003easocs as a struct sctp_association *).\n\nBoth are reachable from CapEff=0; the type-confusion path gives\ncontrolled indirect call via the outqueue.sched-\u003einit_sid pointer.\n\nFix by re-deriving @tmp from @asoc after sctp_sendmsg_to_asoc()\nreturns.  @asoc is known to still be on ep-\u003easocs at that point: the\nonly callers that list_del an association from ep-\u003easocs are\nsctp_association_free() (which sets asoc-\u003ebase.dead) and\nsctp_assoc_migrate() (which changes asoc-\u003ebase.sk), and\nsctp_wait_for_sndbuf() checks both under the lock before any\nsuccessful return; a tripped check propagates as err \u003c 0 and the loop\nbails before the re-derive.\n\nThe SCTP_ABORT path in sctp_sendmsg_check_sflags() returns 0 and the\nloop hits 'continue' before sctp_sendmsg_to_asoc() is ever called, so\nthe @tmp cached by list_for_each_entry_safe() still covers the\nlock-held free that ba59fb027307 (\"sctp: walk the list of asoc\nsafely\") was added for.","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":"sctp: revalidate list cursor after sctp_sendmsg_to_asoc() in SCTP_SENDALL","id":"CVE-2026-46227","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":"spi: ch341: fix devres lifetime","id":"CVE-2026-46228"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"spi: fsl: fix controller deregistration","id":"CVE-2026-46226"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-05-28","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 vulnerability in the Linux kernel SCTP implementation allows local attackers to achieve code execution or privilege escalation via race conditions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-46227/"}
