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-2026-72110 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-2026-72110/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72110/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-72110","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72110/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-72110","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-72110","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-72110","GHSA-9wff-g7fh-998r","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-72110"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel allows attackers to cause system hangs or execute arbitrary code via specific fork operations involving BPF task storage.","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":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nbpf,fork: wipe -\u003ebpf_storage before bailouts that access it\n\nCurrently, copy_process() can bail out to free_task() before p-\u003ebpf_storage\nhas been initialized, with this call graph (shown here for the\n!CONFIG_MEMCG case):\n\ncopy_process\n  dup_task_struct\n    arch_dup_task_struct\n      [copies the entire task_struct, including -\u003ebpf_storage member]\n  [RLIMIT_NPROC check fails]\n  delayed_free_task\n    free_task\n      bpf_task_storage_free\n        rcu_dereference(task-\u003ebpf_storage)\n        bpf_local_storage_destroy\n\nIn this case, the nascent task's -\u003ebpf_storage member that\nbpf_local_storage_destroy() operates on is a plain copy of the parent's\n-\u003ebpf_storage pointer, not a real initialized pointer.\nThis leads to badness (kernel hangs, UAF).\n\nThis is reachable as long as the process calling fork() has been inserted\ninto a task storage map.","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":"bpf,fork: wipe -\u003ebpf_storage before bailouts that access it","id":"CVE-2026-72110","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"bpf: Reset register bounds before narrowing retval range in check_mem_access()","id":"CVE-2026-72111"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"net: sparx5: unregister blocking notifier on init failure","id":"CVE-2026-72109"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-08-15","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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-16","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel allows attackers to cause system hangs or execute arbitrary code via specific fork operations involving BPF task storage.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72110/"}
