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-2026-80986 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-2026-80986/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-80986/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-80986","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-80986/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-80986","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-80986","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-80986","GHSA-f5q8-wrwg-4pwh","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-80986"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel SMC","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A slab-out-of-bounds read in the Linux kernel's SMC-Rv2 LLC message handling can cause a system crash when processing link additions.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/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\nnet/smc: bound the peer rkey counts in SMC-Rv2 LLC messages\n\nOn a link whose device has max_recv_sge == 1 there is no shared v2 receive\nbuffer, and smc_llc_save_add_link_rkeys() takes the v2 extension from 44\nbytes past the start of the queue entry's inline message:\n\n  ext = (struct smc_llc_msg_add_link_v2_ext *)(llc_msg + SMC_WR_TX_SIZE);\n\nThe entry is a 72-byte allocation and the extension starts at offset 68, so\next-\u003enum_rkeys at offset 94 is already past it.
