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-2026-72376 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-2026-72376/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72376/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-72376","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72376/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-72376","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-72376","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-72376","GHSA-3q83-ffw9-5j7c","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-72376"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A logic error in the Linux kernel AFS module incorrectly increments a counter on allocation failure, potentially leading to resource exhaustion or denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"integer_overflow"},"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\nafs: Fix misplaced inc of net-\u003ecells_outstanding\n\nFix net-\u003ecells_outstanding being incremented before the check for failure\nof idr_alloc_cyclic(), leaving the count incremented on error.","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":"afs: Fix misplaced inc of net-\u003ecells_outstanding","id":"CVE-2026-72376","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"integer_overflow","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"afs: Remove setting of AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS for symlinks and mountpoints","id":"CVE-2026-72377"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"afs: Fix reinitialisation of the inode, in particular -\u003elock_work","id":"CVE-2026-72375"},"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 logic error in the Linux kernel AFS module incorrectly increments a counter on allocation failure, potentially leading to resource exhaustion or denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72376/"}
