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-2026-68374 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-2026-68374/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68374/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-68374","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68374/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-68374","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-68374","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-68374","GHSA-hh3m-2ww4-7gxq","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-68374"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel USB core","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel USB core allows attackers to trigger a use-after-free, potentially leading to code execution or system crashes.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-416","name":"Use After Free"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nusb: core: sysfs: add lock to bos_descriptors_read()\n\nAdd a lock to the function bos_descriptors_read().\n\nThis function accesses udev-\u003ebos, which could be simultaneously freed in\nusb_reset_and_verify_device(), a function that is commonly called in\ndrivers all over the kernel.","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":"usb: core: sysfs: add lock to bos_descriptors_read()","id":"CVE-2026-68374","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"bnxt_en: Handle partially initialized auxiliary devices","id":"CVE-2026-68375"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"wifi: at76c50x-usb: avoid length underflow in at76_guess_freq()","id":"CVE-2026-68373"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-08-10","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-19","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel USB core allows attackers to trigger a use-after-free, potentially leading to code execution or system crashes.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68374/"}
