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-2026-72297 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-2026-72297/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72297/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-72297","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72297/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-72297","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-72297","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-72297","GHSA-2234-wg35-953c","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-72297"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel ATM","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can trigger an out-of-bounds read in the Linux kernel ATM subsystem by supplying invalid traffic classes, potentially leaking memory contents.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet: atm: reject out-of-range traffic classes in QoS validation\n\nReject ATM traffic classes above ATM_ANYCLASS in check_tp().\nSO_ATMQOS stores the supplied QoS after check_qos() succeeds, so\naccepting larger values leaves invalid traffic_class values in\nvcc-\u003eqos.\n\nThat bad state later reaches pvc_info(), which indexes class_name[]\nwith vcc-\u003eqos.{rx,tp}.traffic_class.
