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-2026-97543 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-2026-97543/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-97543/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-97543","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-97543/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-97543","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-97543","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-97543","GHSA-jm9w-mmf5-g697","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-97543"],"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":"none","summary":"A memory leak in the XFS filesystem allows local attackers to cause denial of service by triggering specific directory path errors.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"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: destroy seen inode bitmap when we fail to add a dirpath\n\nLOLLM observes a memory leak in xchk_dirtree_create_path if we create\nthe directory path object but appending the name to the path fails.\nWhen this happens, we don't tear down the (empty) seen inode bitmap.\nThis is a pretty trivial error, but let's not leave logic bombs.\n\nDo the same for a similar bug in xrep_dirtree_create_adoption_path.","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: destroy seen inode bitmap when we fail to add a dirpath","id":"CVE-2026-97543","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"xfs: don't leak dqacct if rhashtable insertion fails","id":"CVE-2026-97544"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"xfs: bail out on bitmap errors in xrep_agfl_fill","id":"CVE-2026-97542"},"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 memory leak in the XFS filesystem allows local attackers to cause denial of service by triggering specific directory path errors.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-97543/"}
