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-2026-90270 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-2026-90270/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-90270/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-90270","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-90270/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-90270","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2026-90270","GHSA-w5mj-8cp5-g38h","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-90270"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"A local attacker with high privileges can trigger a use-after-free in the Linux kernel MPAM driver by unbinding an MSC, potentially leading to code execution or privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"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\narm_mpam: Disable driver unbind to avoid UAF\n\nWhen a user unbinds an MSC and that MSC is the only MSC left for a\ncomponent then the corresponding mpam_component will be freed.
