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-2026-72306 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-2026-72306/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72306/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-72306","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72306/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-72306","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-72306","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-72306","GHSA-p7f7-389q-3p34","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-72306"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel's vduse driver can cause a double list deletion, leading to a system crash.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"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\nvduse: Fix race in vduse_dev_msg_sync and vduse_dev_read_iter\n\nThere is one race case in vduse_dev_msg_sync and vduse_dev_read_iter:\n\nvduse_dev_read_iter():\n    lock(msg_lock);\n    dequeue_msg(send_list);\n    unlock(msg_lock);\nvduse_dev_msg_sync():\n    wait_timeout() finish\n    lock(msg_lock);\n    check msg-\u003ecomplete is false\n        list_del(msg);   \u003c- double list_del() crash!\n\nTo fix this case, we shall ensure vduse_msg is on send_list or recv_list\noutside the msg_lock critical section.","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":"vduse: Fix race in vduse_dev_msg_sync and vduse_dev_read_iter","id":"CVE-2026-72306","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"race_condition","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"mlxsw: fix refcount leak in mlxsw_sp_vrs_lpm_tree_replace()","id":"CVE-2026-72307"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"VDUSE: avoid leaking information to userspace","id":"CVE-2026-72305"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-08-15","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-17","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel's vduse driver can cause a double list deletion, leading to a system crash.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72306/"}
