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-2026-72371 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-2026-72371/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72371/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-72371","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72371/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-72371","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-72371","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-72371","GHSA-446r-vwhm-chv5","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-72371"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["other"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel AFS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Incorrect flag assignment in the Linux kernel AFS module causes improper volume removal from the cell tree, leading to potential resource management errors.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"other"},"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\nafs: Fix the volume AFS_VOLUME_RM_TREE is set on\n\nFix afs_insert_volume_into_cell() to set AFS_VOLUME_RM_TREE on the volume\nreplaced, not the new volume, as it's now removed from the cell's volume\ntree.
