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-2026-74414 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-2026-74414/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74414/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-74414","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74414/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-74414","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2026-74414","GHSA-ww36-wq8j-p7q8","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-74414"],"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":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can cause a kernel crash via null pointer dereference in HFS+ filesystem when setting extended attributes on an unloaded attributes file.","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\nhfsplus: Remove the duplicate attr inode dirty marking action\n\nSyzbot reported a null-ptr-deref in [1].\nIf the attributes file is not loaded during system mount, a trigger\noccurs [1] when setxattr is executed in userspace.\n\nRemove the first mark attr inode dirty operation.\n\n[1]\nKASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000008-0x000000000000000f]\nCall Trace:\n hfsplus_setxattr+0x124/0x340 fs/hfsplus/xattr.c:555\n hfsplus_trusted_setxattr+0x40/0x60 fs/hfsplus/xattr_trusted.c:30\n __vfs_setxattr+0x43c/0x480 fs/xattr.c:218\n __vfs_setxattr_noperm+0x12d/0x660 fs/xattr.c:252\n vfs_setxattr+0x163/0x360 fs/xattr.c:339\n do_setxattr fs/xattr.c:654 [inline]","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":"hfsplus: Remove the duplicate attr inode dirty marking action","id":"CVE-2026-74414","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":"spi: atcspi200: fix use-after-free when driver unbind","id":"CVE-2026-74415"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"wifi: rtw89: fix wrong pci_get_drvdata type in AER handlers","id":"CVE-2026-74413"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-08-15","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":"2026-08-17","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A local attacker can cause a kernel crash via null pointer dereference in HFS+ filesystem when setting extended attributes on an unloaded attributes file.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74414/"}
