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-2026-68317 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-2026-68317/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68317/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-68317","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68317/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-68317","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-68317","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-68317","GHSA-gg5r-cw5w-f3jw","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-68317"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A race condition in the pds_core driver allows concurrent operations to cause a NULL pointer dereference, leading to a system crash.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\npds_core: fix auxiliary device add/del races\n\nTwo paths add or delete the same slot (pf-\u003evfs[vf_id].padev): a VF's\npdsc_reset_done() and the PF's devlink enable_vnet/disable_vnet handler.\nThey serialize on config_lock, but neither guards the slot under it\ncorrectly.\n\nadd() registers and stores a new auxiliary device without first checking\nthe slot, so a second add of an already-populated slot leaks the first\ndevice. del() makes that check outside config_lock, so two concurrent\ndels can both pass it; the first clears the slot, and the second\ndereferences a NULL pointer.\n\nCheck and update the slot under config_lock in both paths.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"pds_core: fix auxiliary device add/del races","id":"CVE-2026-68317","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"race_condition","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"pds_core: fix use-after-free on workqueue during remove","id":"CVE-2026-68318"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"accel: ethosu: Fix element size accounting for cmd stream validation","id":"CVE-2026-68316"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-08-10","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-17","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A race condition in the pds_core driver allows concurrent operations to cause a NULL pointer dereference, leading to a system crash.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68317/"}
