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-2026-64302 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-2026-64302/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-64302/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-64302","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-64302/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-64302","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2026-64302","GHSA-rmr6-r8pg-m34q","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-64302","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-64302"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A memory leak in the Linux kernel x86/mm subsystem occurs when freeing PMD-sized vmemmap pages, potentially leading to resource exhaustion.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"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\nx86/mm: Fix freeing of PMD-sized vmemmap pages\n\nCommit bf9e4e30f353 (\"x86/mm: use pagetable_free()\"), switched from\nfreeing non-boot page tables through __free_pages() to\npagetable_free().\n\nHowever, the function is also called to free vmemmap pages.\n\nGiven that vmemmap pages are not page tables, already the page_ptdesc(page)\nis wrong.
