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-2026-72475 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-2026-72475/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72475/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-72475","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72475/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-72475","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-72475","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-72475","GHSA-gx55-m2rg-vq3h","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-72475"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A memory management flaw in the Linux kernel AXI DMA driver allows attackers to cause denial of service or potentially execute code via improper descriptor freeing.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"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\ndmaengine: dma-axi-dmac: Properly free struct axi_dmac_desc\n\nUse axi_dmac_free_desc() to free fully the descriptor at fail path when\ncall axi_dmac_alloc_desc() in axi_dmac_prep_peripheral_dma_vec().","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":"dmaengine: dma-axi-dmac: Properly free struct axi_dmac_desc","id":"CVE-2026-72475","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"dmaengine: Fix possible use after free","id":"CVE-2026-72476"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"dmaengine: dma-axi-dmac: use DMA pool to manange DMA descriptor","id":"CVE-2026-72474"},"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 memory management flaw in the Linux kernel AXI DMA driver allows attackers to cause denial of service or potentially execute code via improper descriptor freeing.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72475/"}
