An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-63800 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-2026-63800/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-63800/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-63800","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-63800/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-63800","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-63800","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-63800","GHSA-fjxq-h4gg-vf5r","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-63800","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-63800","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-63800"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A use-after-free in the Linux kernel's pNFS layout update allows attackers to potentially execute code or cause a system crash.","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":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/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\npNFS: Fix use-after-free in pnfs_update_layout()\n\nWhen hitting the NFS_LAYOUT_RETURN branch in pnfs_update_layout(),\nthe code calls pnfs_prepare_to_retry_layoutget(lo).
