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-2026-68379 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-2026-68379/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68379/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-68379","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68379/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-68379","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-68379","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-68379","GHSA-hqwg-h56w-34xh","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-68379"],"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 memory leak in the Linux kernel TCP stack allows attackers to exhaust system memory via PSP policy failures, causing denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"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":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ntcp: fix TIME_WAIT socket reference leak on PSP policy failure\n\nRelease the TIME_WAIT socket reference and jump to discard_it\nupon PSP policy failure in both IPv4 and IPv6 receive paths.\nThis prevents a memory leak of tcp_tw_bucket structures.","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":"tcp: fix TIME_WAIT socket reference leak on PSP policy failure","id":"CVE-2026-68379","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"accel/amdxdna: Fix use-after-free of mm_struct in job scheduler","id":"CVE-2026-68380"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"dpll: fix NULL pointer dereference in dpll_msg_add_pin_ref_sync()","id":"CVE-2026-68378"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-08-10","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-17","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A memory leak in the Linux kernel TCP stack allows attackers to exhaust system memory via PSP policy failures, causing denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68379/"}
