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-2026-90250 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-2026-90250/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-90250/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-90250","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-90250/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-90250","record":{"aliases":["AZL-102347","BELL-CVE-2026-90250","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-90250","GHSA-364x-ffh5-8mmx","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-90250"],"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":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can cause a kernel panic via null pointer dereference in BPF cgroup storage when replacing programs.","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\nbpf, cgroup: Fix storage null-ptr-deref after replacing prog\n\nSyzkaller reported a storage null-ptr-deref issue after replacing prog.\nThis occurs in the following scenario:\n1. prog A, an empty prog, is attached to a cgrp.\n2. prog B uses BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_CGROUP_STORAGE and calls the\n   bpf_get_local_storage helper.\n3. link_update is called to replace prog A with prog B.\n\nThe reason is that __cgroup_bpf_replace fails to alloc and assign the\nrequired cgrp storage for the incoming replacement prog.
