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-2026-80987 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-2026-80987/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-80987/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-80987","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-80987/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-80987","record":{"aliases":["AZL-100880","BELL-CVE-2026-80987","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-80987","GHSA-485c-xrj6-wvh4","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-80987"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel NTB driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can cause a memory leak in the Linux kernel NTB transport driver by sending oversized TX buffers, leading to resource exhaustion.","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\nNTB: ntb_transport: Reject oversized TX buffers\n\nntb_process_tx() handles an oversized buffer by calling tx_handler()\nwith a NULL data pointer and returning success. ntb_netdev therefore\nneither frees the skb in its completion callback nor takes its enqueue\nerror path, leaking it.\n\nReject oversized buffers in ntb_transport_tx_enqueue() before acquiring\na queue entry and return -EMSGSIZE.
