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-2026-53168 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-2026-53168/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-53168/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-53168","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-53168/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-53168","record":{"aliases":["AZL-90704","BELL-CVE-2026-53168","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-53168","GHSA-r29v-cgxr-pghg","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-53168","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-53168","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-53168","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-53168","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-53168"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel FUSE","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A malicious FUSE daemon can trigger a kernel warning and potential denial of service by sending invalid pagecache operations on directories.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nfuse: reject fuse_notify() pagecache ops on directories\n\nThe operations FUSE_NOTIFY_STORE and FUSE_NOTIFY_RETRIEVE allow the\nFUSE daemon to actively write/read pagecache contents.\n\nFor directories with FOPEN_CACHE_DIR, the pagecache is used as\nkernel-internal cache storage, and userspace is not supposed to have\ndirect access to this cache - in particular, fuse_parse_cache() will hit\nWARN_ON() if the cache contains bogus data.\n\nReject FUSE_NOTIFY_STORE and FUSE_NOTIFY_RETRIEVE on anything other than\nregular files with -EINVAL.","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":"fuse: reject fuse_notify() pagecache ops on directories","id":"CVE-2026-53168","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"accel/ethosu: reject NPU_OP_RESIZE commands from userspace","id":"CVE-2026-53169"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"fuse: limit FUSE_NOTIFY_RETRIEVE to uptodate folios","id":"CVE-2026-53167"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-06-25","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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-15","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A malicious FUSE daemon can trigger a kernel warning and potential denial of service by sending invalid pagecache operations on directories.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-53168/"}
