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-2026-68141 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux. 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-2026-68141/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68141/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-68141","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68141/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-68141","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-68141","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-68141","GHSA-p635-m8r7-fc75","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-68141"],"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 af_iucv module can cause a system crash when socket allocation fails during connection handling.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"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\nnet/af_iucv: fix NULL deref in afiucv_hs_callback_syn()\n\nafiucv_hs_callback_syn() allocates the child socket with GFP_ATOMIC.\nIf the allocation fails, nsk is NULL.\n\nThe connection-refused path is entered when the listen state check\nfails, the accept backlog is full, or nsk is NULL.
