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-2026-64116 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-2026-64116/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-64116/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-64116","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-64116/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-64116","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-64116","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-64116","GHSA-6p6q-g32r-gx25","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-64116","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-64116"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A NULL pointer dereference in the Linux kernel's IPv6 IOAM handling can cause a system crash during interface teardown.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nipv6: ioam: add NULL check for idev in ipv6_hop_ioam()\n\nReported by Sashiko:\n\nThe function ipv6_hop_ioam() accesses\n__in6_dev_get(skb-\u003edev)-\u003ecnf.ioam6_enabled without validating the returned\nidev pointer.
