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-2026-72067 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-2026-72067/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72067/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-72067","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72067/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-72067","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-72067","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-72067","GHSA-ff23-gxr2-xxhq","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-72067"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["other"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A logic error in Linux kernel CPU hotplug rollback could mask original callback failures, potentially leading to inconsistent system states.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"other"},"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-754","name":"Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ncpu: hotplug: Preserve per instance callback errors\n\ncpuhp_invoke_callback() unwinds earlier callbacks for the same\nhotplug state when one instance fails.
