CVE-2026-47337 LOW PATCH Monitor

NULL pointer dereference in Ubuntu Linux kernel SAUCE patches (versions 6.8, 6.17, and 7.0) allows an unprivileged local user to trigger a kernel oops, resulting in a denial of service. The flaw resides specifically in Ubuntu's out-of-tree SAUCE patches for AF_INET/AF_INET6 socket mediation - mainline Linux kernel builds are unaffected. No active exploitation is confirmed (not in CISA KEV), no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and the CVSS score of 3.3 (Low) accurately reflects the constrained impact: local access only, no confidentiality or integrity loss, and limited availability degradation.

CVE-2026-47335 MEDIUM PATCH This Month

Kernel panic via NULL pointer dereference in Ubuntu Linux 6.8's AppArmor notification handler allows a locally authenticated, unprivileged user to crash the system. The flaw resides in Ubuntu-specific SAUCE patches - out-of-tree modifications maintained by Canonical - meaning the vulnerable code path does not exist in upstream mainline kernels. With a CVSS score of 5.5 and an availability-only impact, the practical consequence is a local denial-of-service: any low-privilege user with shell access can force a kernel panic. No active exploitation has been confirmed by CISA KEV and no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.

CVE-2026-47327 LOW PATCH Monitor

NULL pointer dereference in Ubuntu Linux kernel versions 6.8, 6.17, and 7.0 allows a local unprivileged user to crash the kernel via the AppArmor notification handling path. The flaw exists exclusively in Ubuntu-specific SAUCE patches layered on top of the upstream Linux kernel, meaning only Ubuntu kernels carrying these versions are affected - not upstream Linux or other distributions. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis; the impact is limited to a kernel oops (availability loss, CVSS A:L), with no confidentiality or integrity impact.

CVE-2026-44710 MEDIUM PATCH This Month

NULL pointer dereference in pam_usb prior to 0.8.7 allows a physically present attacker to crash the PAM authentication stack by inserting a USB device whose serial, vendor, or model metadata fields are absent. The module in src/device.c passes return values from udisks_drive_get_serial(), udisks_drive_get_vendor(), and udisks_drive_get_model() directly to strcmp() without NULL checks, despite the GIO/UDisks2 API explicitly documenting that these accessors can return NULL for devices not exposing those fields. The result is undefined behavior - typically a SIGSEGV - that terminates the authentication process. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and no active exploitation is confirmed.

CVE-2026-47271 MEDIUM PATCH This Month

pam_usb prior to 0.9.0 crashes under memory pressure due to assert()-based OOM guards in src/mem.c that are silently stripped by standard distribution build flags, enabling a local denial-of-service against authentication subsystems. Any allocation failure in xmalloc(), xrealloc(), or xstrdup() returns NULL, which every caller then dereferences unconditionally - the intended abort-before-dereference guarantee exists only in debug builds, not in Debian, Fedora, or Arch Linux packages that define -DNDEBUG via CFLAGS. A local attacker who can induce memory pressure at authentication time causes the PAM module to crash, locking all users out of sudo and login for the duration of the crash. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

CVE-2026-8359 HIGH PATCH This Week

Denial of service in Gladinet Triofox lets unauthenticated remote attackers crash the web service by sending an HTTP request whose URL path begins with /status or /sysinfo. The server tries to load WOSHttpStatusModule.dll to service those paths and calls WOSBin_LoadHttpModule, but that DLL ships missing from the installation, so the resolved function pointer is NULL and the code invokes a function at address 0, terminating the process (CWE-476). The flaw was discovered and reported by Tenable (TRA-2026-45); no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not on the CISA KEV list, with availability-only impact (CVSS 7.5).

CVE-2026-8360 HIGH PATCH This Week

Denial of service in Gladinet Triofox lets remote unauthenticated attackers crash the Triofox Server Agent by triggering a NULL pointer dereference. The function WOSSysInfoGetDeviceInterface() in WOSCommonUtil.dll returns NULL whenever no user is logged into the Server Agent Management Console, and callers such as WOSProfileMgrModule.dll and WOSWebDavModule.dll dereference that pointer without checking it, causing a process crash. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue affects only availability (CVSS 7.5).

CVE-2026-9759 MEDIUM PATCH This Month

Null pointer dereference in Wireshark's ROHC protocol dissector causes application crashes across two active release branches, constituting a denial-of-service condition. Affected versions span Wireshark 4.6.0 through 4.6.5 and 4.4.0 through 4.4.15; patched releases 4.6.6 and 4.4.16 are available per the vendor advisory wnpa-sec-2026-51. The attack vector is local with required user interaction (CVSS AV:L/UI:R), meaning exploitation requires a victim to open a specially crafted packet capture file - no remote or automated exploitation path exists, and no public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.

CVE-2025-70116 MEDIUM POC This Month

NULL pointer dereference in GPAC MP4Box crashes the application when parsing specially crafted truncated MP4 files, resulting in a denial-of-service condition. The vulnerability triggers in the gf_media_map_esd function (media_tools/isom_tools.c, line ~1364) when an invalid or unknown stsd (Sample Table Sample Description) entry leaves codec, mime, or profile descriptor fields uninitialized - the function then calls strlen() on a NULL pointer, producing a segmentation fault (SEGV). A publicly available exploit code exists demonstrating the crash, though EPSS at 0.02% (6th percentile) signals negligible widespread exploitation probability and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV.

Remote denial of service in IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Endpoint and High-Speed Transfer Server (versions 3.7.4 through 4.4.7 Fix Pack 1) allows an unauthenticated network attacker to crash the asperahttpd service via a NULL pointer dereference. Exploitation requires no credentials and no user interaction, yielding a complete loss of availability for the affected transfer service. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue has no confidentiality or integrity impact.
