It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-46333 exists.\n\nAffected product: Debian Debian Linux. 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-2026-46333/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-46333/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-46333","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-46333/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-46333","record":{"aliases":["AZL-86888","AZL-86999","BELL-CVE-2026-46333","CLSA-2026-1779179460","CLSA-2026-1779180310","CLSA-2026-1779180837","CLSA-2026-1779181085","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-46333","GHSA-pm8f-4p6p-6x53","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-46333","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-46333","SUSE-RU-2026:21753-1","SUSE-RU-2026:21781-1","SUSE-RU-2026:21783-1","SUSE-RU-2026:21820-1","SUSE-SU-2026:21721-1","SUSE-SU-2026:21724-1","SUSE-SU-2026:21734-1","SUSE-SU-2026:21735-1","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-46333","openSUSE-RU-2026:20779-1","openSUSE-SU-2026:10825-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A flaw in Linux kernel ptrace logic allows bypassing capability restrictions, potentially enabling privilege escalation for attackers with root access.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nptrace: slightly saner 'get_dumpable()' logic\n\nThe 'dumpability' of a task is fundamentally about the memory image of\nthe task - the concept comes from whether it can core dump or not - and\nmakes no sense when you don't have an associated mm.\n\nAnd almost all users do in fact use it only for the case where the task\nhas a mm pointer.\n\nBut we have one odd special case: ptrace_may_access() uses 'dumpable' to\ncheck various other things entirely independently of the MM (typically\nexplicitly using flags like PTRACE_MODE_READ_FSCREDS).  Including for\nthreads that no longer have a VM (and maybe never did, like most kernel\nthreads).\n\nIt's not what this flag was designed for, but it is what it is.\n\nThe ptrace code does check that the uid/gid matches, so you do have to\nbe uid-0 to see kernel thread details, but this means that the\ntraditional \"drop capabilities\" model doesn't make any difference for\nthis all.\n\nMake it all make a *bit* more sense by saying that if you don't have a\nMM pointer, we'll use a cached \"last dumpability\" flag if the thread\never had a MM (it will be zero for kernel threads since it is never\nset), and require a proper CAP_SYS_PTRACE capability to override.","ecosystems":["SUSE:Linux Micro Extras 6.2","openSUSE:Tumbleweed"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2026-05-14","github_poc":5,"max_poc_stars":42,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2026-05-17T10:14:44Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/0xredash/CVE-2026-46333","stars":42,"title":"CVE-2026-46333"},{"date":"2026-05-16T03:34:08Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/KaraZajac/CHARON","stars":8,"title":"CHARON — pre-built PoC for CVE-2026-46333 (Linux ptrace mm==NULL fd theft)"},{"date":"2026-05-17T10:33:43Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/studiogangster/CVE-2026-46333","stars":6,"title":"Research on `pidfd_getfd(2)`-based file descriptor leakage from privileged SUID processes.
