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-2026-53096 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-2026-53096/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-53096/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-53096","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-53096/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-53096","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-53096","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-53096","GHSA-8qvr-6896-8wfm","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-53096","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-53096","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-53096","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-53096"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel BPF dev_map allows attackers to cause denial of service or potentially execute code via improper RCU iteration.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"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-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"},{"id":"CWE-362","name":"Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nbpf: Use RCU-safe iteration in dev_map_redirect_multi() SKB path\n\nThe DEVMAP_HASH branch in dev_map_redirect_multi() uses\nhlist_for_each_entry_safe() to iterate hash buckets, but this function\nruns under RCU protection (called from xdp_do_generic_redirect_map()\nin softirq context).
