It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-97926 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-2026-97926/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-97926/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-97926","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-97926/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-97926","record":{"aliases":["AZL-104430","BELL-CVE-2026-97926","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-97926","GHSA-35q6-8fhf-pg65","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-97926"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel UFS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A crafted UFS filesystem image can trigger out-of-bounds memory access in the Linux kernel, potentially leading to code execution or system crashes.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nufs: validate cylinder group metadata before caching it\n\nufs_read_cylinder() copies the cylinder group index and the rotor\npositions straight from the on-disk group and caches them without any\ncheck:\n\n\tucpi-\u003ec_cgx    = fs32_to_cpu(sb, ucg-\u003ecg_cgx);\n\tucpi-\u003ec_rotor  = fs32_to_cpu(sb, ucg-\u003ecg_rotor);\n\tucpi-\u003ec_frotor = fs32_to_cpu(sb, ucg-\u003ecg_frotor);\n\tucpi-\u003ec_irotor = fs32_to_cpu(sb, ucg-\u003ecg_irotor);\n\nThey are then used as indices during allocation and free:\n\n  - c_cgx indexes the cylinder summary array as\n    UFS_SB(sb)-\u003efs_cs(ucpi-\u003ec_cgx), so a value past s_ncg writes a 32\n    bit count outside the s_csp allocation.\n\n  - c_frotor becomes a bitmap scan start, start = c_frotor \u003e\u003e 3, and\n    then length = ((s_fpg + 7) \u003e\u003e 3) - start.
