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-2026-97542 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-2026-97542/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-97542/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-97542","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-97542/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-97542","record":{"aliases":["AZL-104478","BELL-CVE-2026-97542","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-97542","GHSA-jp6c-38x7-hq3p","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-97542"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel XFS","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"A missing error check in the XFS filesystem repair code can lead to inconsistent data and potential system instability or denial of service.","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\nxfs: bail out on bitmap errors in xrep_agfl_fill\n\nLOLLM also points out that the xagb_bitmap_set call in xrep_agfl_fill\ncan fail, but we don't check the result of xagb_bitmap_walk, so we\nsilently drop the error and proceed with inconsistent incore data.\nThat shouldn't be allowed.","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":"xfs: bail out on bitmap errors in xrep_agfl_fill","id":"CVE-2026-97542","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"xfs: destroy seen inode bitmap when we fail to add a dirpath","id":"CVE-2026-97543"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"wifi: ath9k_htc: don't store usb_device_id","id":"CVE-2026-97541"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-09-25","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":"A missing error check in the XFS filesystem repair code can lead to inconsistent data and potential system instability or denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-97542/"}
