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-2026-72488 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-2026-72488/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72488/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-72488","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72488/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-72488","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-72488","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-72488","GHSA-m46v-696m-pmpf","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-72488"],"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","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An out-of-bounds memory access in the Linux kernel's soundwire subsystem allows attackers to cause denial of service or potentially execute code.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"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\nsoundwire: fix bug in sdw_add_element_group_count found by syzkaller\n\nThe original implementation caused an out-of-bounds memory access\nin the sdw_add_element_group_count for-loop when i == num.\n\nfor (i = 0; i \u003c= num; i++) {\n    if (rate == group-\u003erates[i] \u0026\u0026 lane == group-\u003elanes[i])\n        ...\n\nTo fix this error, the function now checks for existing rate/lane\nentries in the group(a function parameter) using a for-loop before\nadding them.\n\nNo functional changes apart from this fix.","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":"soundwire: fix bug in sdw_add_element_group_count found by syzkaller","id":"CVE-2026-72488","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"staging: nvec: fix use-after-free in nvec_rx_completed()","id":"CVE-2026-72489"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"PCI: Check ROM header and data structure addr before accessing","id":"CVE-2026-72487"},"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":"2026-10-21","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"An out-of-bounds memory access in the Linux kernel's soundwire subsystem allows attackers to cause denial of service or potentially execute code.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72488/"}
