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-2026-97980 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-2026-97980/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-97980/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-97980","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-97980/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-97980","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2026-97980","GHSA-2pff-3q6f-mj8f","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-97980"],"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":"high_privilege","summary":"A NULL pointer dereference in the s390 debug API allows local privileged users to cause a kernel crash.","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\ns390/debug: Fix NULL pointer dereference in debug_set_level()\n\nCommit a2cec6863709 (\"s390/debug: Add s390dbf kernel parameter\")\nincorrectly removed a null-id check from debug_set_level(), introducing\na possible NULL pointer dereference for debug-API users that put\ndebug_register() results unchecked into debug_set_level().\n\nFix this by moving the check from the internal _debug_set_level()\nvariant back to the external debug_set_level() wrapper.","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":"s390/debug: Fix NULL pointer dereference in debug_set_level()","id":"CVE-2026-97980","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"net: ethernet: cortina: Count dropped frames as NAPI work","id":"CVE-2026-97981"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"ice: add missing xa_destroy for sched_node_ids","id":"CVE-2026-97979"},"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 NULL pointer dereference in the s390 debug API allows local privileged users to cause a kernel crash.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-97980/"}
