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-2026-90013 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-2026-90013/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-90013/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-90013","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-90013/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-90013","record":{"aliases":["AZL-101486","BELL-CVE-2026-90013","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-90013","GHSA-gwf9-fcmv-qx77","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-90013"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel tracing","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A use-after-free in the Linux kernel tracing subsystem allows a local attacker to cause a system crash by racing file operations with instance removal.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"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\ntracing: Take trace_array reference when opening options file\n\nThe options files do not take the trace_array reference for the options\nthey represent. This could cause a use-after-free kernel crash if one of\nthese files is opened by one task and another task removes the instance\nthat the option is for. Because it doesn't take a reference upon opening,\nit will not stop the removal which will free the options descriptor that\nis being used.\n\nAs the options are somewhat dynamic in their creation at boot up, each\nfile represents a flag in the trace_array. The trace_array has an array of\nindexes to represent each of these flags that is stored in the\ntrace_flags_index array. The address of the index array element is used to\npass to the inode-\u003ei_private pointer. Then that element is read which\nholds the index (which represents the flag) and then the index is used to\ncalculate the trace_array descriptor from its trace_flags_index array.\n\nOne issue is that the index element can not be referenced until the\ntrace_array's reference is taken. To handle this, create a new helper\nfunction called: trace_array_options_get() that will iterate all the\nexisting trace_arrays in the ftrace_trace_arrays list (under the\ntrace_types_lock), and compare the passed in address of the index element\nwith the entire array of the trace_array's trace_flags_index array.\nIf it matches, then up the corresponding trace_array's reference and\nreturn.","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":"tracing: Take trace_array reference when opening options file","id":"CVE-2026-90013","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"tracing: Have show_event_filters/triggers files take trace array ref","id":"CVE-2026-90014"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"spi: Fix DMA mapping ownership on partial map failure","id":"CVE-2026-90012"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-09-16","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":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-21","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A use-after-free in the Linux kernel tracing subsystem allows a local attacker to cause a system crash by racing file operations with instance removal.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-90013/"}
