Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2026-23119)

Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2026-23119). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 5.10.249, 5.15.199, 6.1.162, 6.6.122, 6.12.68, 6.18.8 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bonding: provide a net pointer to __skb_flow_dissect()

After 3cbf4ffba5ee ("net: plumb network namespace into __skb_flow_dissect")
we have to provide a net pointer to __skb_flow_dissect(),
either via skb->dev, skb->sk, or a user provided pointer.

In the following case, syzbot was able to cook a bare skb.

A vulnerability (unclassified) exists in Kernel.

📍 Affected scope

Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of Kernel.

🔥 Severity

Severity: ?. Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.

🔧 How to fix

Update to 5.10.249, 5.15.199, 6.1.162, 6.6.122, 6.12.68, 6.18.8.

🛡️ Workaround

Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.

🔍 Detection

Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Run grep -r 'Kernel' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.

Response actions

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

1
Identify exposure identify
```
grep -r 'Kernel' . | grep -v node_modules
```
リポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で Kernel を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。
2
Apply patch patch
```
Upgrade Kernel to 5.10.249, 5.15.199, 6.1.162, 6.6.122, 6.12.68, 6.18.8
```
ステージング環境で 5.10.249, 5.15.199, 6.1.162, 6.6.122, 6.12.68, 6.18.8 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスを含めること。
3
Post-deployment verification verify
```
Confirm patched version is live in production
```
パッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番ではアクセスログ・WAF でアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
