An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-72356 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-2026-72356/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72356/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-72356","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72356/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-72356","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-72356","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-72356","GHSA-fvfj-x9c7-958j","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-72356"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel CIFS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A missing credit release in the Linux kernel CIFS module can lead to resource exhaustion and denial of service during read failures.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ncifs: Fix missing credit release on failure in cifs_issue_read()\n\nFix missing release of credits in the failure path in cifs_issue_read()\nlest retrying the subreq just overwrites the credits value.","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":"cifs: Fix missing credit release on failure in cifs_issue_read()","id":"CVE-2026-72356","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"uprobes/x86: Use proper mm_struct in __in_uprobe_trampoline","id":"CVE-2026-72357"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"netfs: Fix barriering when walking subrequest list","id":"CVE-2026-72355"},"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 credit release in the Linux kernel CIFS module can lead to resource exhaustion and denial of service during read failures.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72356/"}
