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-2026-90242 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-2026-90242/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-90242/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-90242","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-90242/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-90242","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-90242","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-90242","GHSA-f898-qwj6-vcxv","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-90242"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"A reference count leak in the Linux kernel IOMMU driver can cause a warning and potential resource exhaustion when replacing device domains.","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\niommu/vt-d: Fix iopf_refcount leak on RID domain replacement\n\nintel_iommu_attach_device() enables IOPF for the new domain but never\ndisables it for the old one.  device_block_translation(), called at the\nstart of the function, tears down translation but does not touch any IOPF\nstate; blocking_domain_attach_dev() has to call iopf_for_domain_remove()\nexplicitly before invoking it for exactly this reason.\n\nidentity_domain_attach_dev() has the same problem.
