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-2026-90165 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-2026-90165/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-90165/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-90165","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-90165/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-90165","record":{"aliases":["AZL-102138","BELL-CVE-2026-90165","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-90165","GHSA-qgqf-cwg2-72jg","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-90165"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel SMB server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can cause a kernel crash in the Linux SMB server by triggering an invalid pointer dereference during durable scavenger startup failure.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"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\nsmb/server: fix invalid pointer dereference in ksmbd_stop_durable_scavenger()\n\nSee the procedure below:\n\n  ksmbd_launch_ksmbd_durable_scavenger\n    durable_scavenger_running = true\n    server_conf.dh_task = kthread_run() // fail, dh_task is an ERR_PTR()\n\n  server_ctrl_handle_reset\n    ksmbd_stop_durable_scavenger\n    kthread_stop(server_conf.dh_task) // invalid pointer","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":"smb/server: fix invalid pointer dereference in ksmbd_stop_durable_scavenger()","id":"CVE-2026-90165","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"smb/server: fix null-ptr-deref in ksmbd_ipc_tree_connect_request()","id":"CVE-2026-90166"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"smb/server: abort initialization when proc setup fails","id":"CVE-2026-90164"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-09-17","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-19","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"An attacker can cause a kernel crash in the Linux SMB server by triggering an invalid pointer dereference during durable scavenger startup failure.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-90165/"}
