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-2026-64115 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-2026-64115/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-64115/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-64115","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-64115/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-64115","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-64115","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-64115","GHSA-c2c8-f8x2-chfh","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-64115"],"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 VMCI transport allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code or escalate privileges via a crafted connection reset.","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":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/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\nvsock/vmci: fix UAF when peer resets connection during handshake\n\nvmci_transport_recv_connecting_server() returned err = 0 for a peer\nRST in its default switch arm:\n\n\terr = pkt-\u003etype == VMCI_TRANSPORT_PACKET_TYPE_RST ? 0 : -EINVAL;\n\nThat made vmci_transport_recv_listen() skip vsock_remove_pending(),\nleaving the pending socket on the listener's pending_links with\nsk_state = TCP_CLOSE while destroy: still dropped the explicit\nreference taken before schedule_delayed_work().\n\nOne second later vsock_pending_work() observed is_pending=true and\nperformed full cleanup: vsock_remove_pending() then the two trailing\nsock_put(sk) calls -- the first reached refcount 0 and __sk_freed\nthe socket, and the second wrote into the freed object:\n\n  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in refcount_warn_saturate\n  Write of size 4 at addr ffff88800b1cac80 by task kworker\n  Workqueue: events vsock_pending_work\n\nTreat peer RST like any other unexpected packet type (err = -EINVAL).\nAll destroy: arms now return err \u003c 0, so vmci_transport_recv_listen()\nremoves pending from pending_links synchronously and\nvsock_pending_work() takes the is_pending=false / !rejected branch,\ndropping only its own work reference.
