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-2026-80793 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-2026-80793/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-80793/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-80793","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-80793/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-80793","record":{"aliases":["AZL-99552","BELL-CVE-2026-80793","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-80793","GHSA-vc8f-29mh-24xv","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-80793"],"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 remote attacker can cause a kernel softlockup and denial of service by sending packets that trigger infinite fragmentation loops due to undersized MTUs.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"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\nipv4: reject undersized MTUs in ip_do_fragment()\n\nip_do_fragment() subtracts the IPv4 header length from the effective\nMTU and passes the resulting payload MTU to ip_frag_next().\n\nIf the effective MTU is smaller than hlen + 8, ip_frag_next() rounds\nthe fragment payload length down to zero.
