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-2026-53005 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-2026-53005/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-53005/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-53005","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-53005/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-53005","record":{"aliases":["AZL-90540","BELL-CVE-2026-53005","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-53005","GHSA-6qfx-pmxg-8gxp","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-53005","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2026-53005","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-53005","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-53005","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-53005"],"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 vulnerability in the Linux kernel's AF_UNIX SOCKMAP implementation allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code or escalate privileges.","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"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\naf_unix: Drop all SCM attributes for SOCKMAP.\n\nSOCKMAP can hide inflight fd from AF_UNIX GC.\n\nWhen a socket in SOCKMAP receives skb with inflight fd,\nsk_psock_verdict_data_ready() looks up the mapped socket and\nenqueue skb to its psock-\u003eingress_skb.\n\nSince neither the old nor the new GC can inspect the psock\nqueue, the hidden skb leaks the inflight sockets.
