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-2026-53304 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-2026-53304/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-53304/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-53304","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-53304/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-53304","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-53304","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-53304","GHSA-cx67-j66h-cm23","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-53304","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-53304","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-53304"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker with root privileges can cause a kernel soft lockup by setting an invalid module parameter, leading to system unavailability.","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":[{"id":"CWE-667","name":"Improper Locking"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nscsi: sg: Resolve soft lockup issue when opening /dev/sgX\n\nThe parameter def_reserved_size defines the default buffer size reserved\nfor each Sg_fd and should be restricted to a range between 0 and 1,048,576\n(see https://tldp.org/HOWTO/SCSI-Generic-HOWTO/proc.html).
