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-2026-80588 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-2026-80588/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-80588/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-80588","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-80588/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-80588","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2026-80588","GHSA-82qc-q32m-354f","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-80588"],"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":"An attacker can cause unbounded memory growth in the Linux kernel MPTCP receive path, leading to a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nmptcp: reclaim forward-allocated memory on RX path errors\n\nAfter commit 9db5b3cec4ec (\"mptcp: borrow forward memory from subflow\"),\nerrors in the receive path prior to queueing skbs into the receive\nqueue do not trigger forward-allocated memory reclaiming.\n\nPrevent forward memory from growing unboundedly in pathological drop\nscenarios by explicitly reclaiming memory when skbs are dropped.","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":"mptcp: reclaim forward-allocated memory on RX path errors","id":"CVE-2026-80588","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"block: stop the timeout timer when releasing a never added disk","id":"CVE-2026-80589"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"mptcp: avoid combining some incoming suboptions","id":"CVE-2026-80587"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-08-26","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":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-16","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"An attacker can cause unbounded memory growth in the Linux kernel MPTCP receive path, leading to a denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-80588/"}
