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-2026-64419 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-2026-64419/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-64419/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-64419","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-64419/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-64419","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-64419","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-64419","GHSA-h85j-5g9p-ppj5","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-64419","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-64419"],"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 bug in the Linux kernel's shrinker debugfs handler causes a sleeping function call within an RCU critical section, leading to a kernel panic and denial of service.","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":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nmm/shrinker: do not hold RCU lock in shrinker_debugfs_count_show()\n\nReading the debugfs \"count\" file of a memcg-aware shrinker can sleep\ninside an RCU read-side critical section:\n\n  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/cgroup/rstat.c:421\n  RCU nest depth: 1, expected: 0\n   css_rstat_flush\n   mem_cgroup_flush_stats\n   zswap_shrinker_count\n   shrinker_debugfs_count_show\n\nshrinker_debugfs_count_show() invokes the -\u003ecount_objects() callback under\nrcu_read_lock().
