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-2026-72435 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-2026-72435/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72435/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-72435","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72435/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-72435","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-72435","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-72435","GHSA-g5m8-p567-grv6","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-72435"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel netfilter","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Incorrect RCU pointer assignment order in Linux kernel ipset allows use-after-free, potentially enabling local privilege escalation or code execution.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"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\nnetfilter: ipset: fix order of kfree_rcu() and rcu_assign_pointer()\n\nSashiko pointed out that kfree_rcu() was called before\nrcu_assign_pointer() in handling the comment extension.\nFix the order so that rcu_assign_pointer() called first.","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":"netfilter: ipset: fix order of kfree_rcu() and rcu_assign_pointer()","id":"CVE-2026-72435","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"netfilter: ipset: Don't use test_bit() in lockless RCU readers in hash types","id":"CVE-2026-72436"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"netfilter: ipset: make sure gc is properly stopped","id":"CVE-2026-72434"},"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-16","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"Incorrect RCU pointer assignment order in Linux kernel ipset allows use-after-free, potentially enabling local privilege escalation or code execution.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72435/"}
