An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-74282 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-2026-74282/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74282/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-74282","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74282/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-74282","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-74282","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-74282","GHSA-5xv7-x5qx-3wv4","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-74282"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel TIPC","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A remote attacker can cause a denial of service in the Linux kernel TIPC protocol by sending a crafted connection acknowledgment that triggers an integer underflow.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"integer_overflow"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ntipc: prevent snt_unacked underflow on CONN_ACK\n\ntipc_sk_conn_proto_rcv() subtracts the peer-supplied connection ack count\nfrom the unsigned 16-bit send counter snt_unacked without checking that it\ndoes not exceed the number of messages actually outstanding:\n\n\ttsk-\u003esnt_unacked -= msg_conn_ack(hdr);\n\nmsg_conn_ack() is read straight from a received CONN_MANAGER/CONN_ACK\nmessage.
