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-2026-72294 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-2026-72294/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72294/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-72294","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72294/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-72294","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-72294","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-72294","GHSA-jxx3-rvf2-64xp","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-72294"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel KVM","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A missing validity check in the Linux kernel's KVM interrupt handler allows local users to trigger undefined behavior, potentially leading to privilege escalation or system crashes.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nLoongArch: KVM: Check irq validity in kvm_vcpu_ioctl_interrupt()\n\nFunction kvm_vcpu_ioctl_interrupt() can be called from userspace, here\nadd irq validility cheking in kvm_vcpu_ioctl_interrupt().","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":"LoongArch: KVM: Check irq validity in kvm_vcpu_ioctl_interrupt()","id":"CVE-2026-72294","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"LoongArch: KVM: Validate irqchip index in irqfd routing","id":"CVE-2026-72295"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"KVM: s390: vsie: Add missing radix_tree_preload() in _gaccess_shadow_fault()","id":"CVE-2026-72293"},"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":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-17","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A missing validity check in the Linux kernel's KVM interrupt handler allows local users to trigger undefined behavior, potentially leading to privilege escalation or system crashes.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72294/"}
