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-2026-68410 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-2026-68410/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68410/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-68410","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68410/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-68410","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-68410","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-68410","GHSA-wjgw-rwg6-p893","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-68410"],"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 memory leak in the Linux kernel Libertas Wi-Fi driver allows attackers to cause denial of service via repeated firmware loading.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"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\nwifi: libertas: fix memory leak in helper_firmware_cb()\n\nhelper_firmware_cb() neglects to free the single-stage firmware image\nafter a successful async load, leading to a memory leak in the USB\nfirmware-download path.\n\nFix this memory leak by calling release_firmware() immediately after\nlbs_fw_loaded() returns.\n\nThe bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are\ndeveloping for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing\nv6.13-rc1.
