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-2026-74476 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-2026-74476/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74476/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-74476","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74476/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-74476","record":{"aliases":["AZL-96458","BELL-CVE-2026-74476","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-74476","GHSA-p72r-vmh2-4xj6","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-74476"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel veth","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A flaw in the Linux kernel veth driver causes a crash when processing fragmented packets with XDP, leading to denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":9.1,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nveth: convert frag_list skbs before running XDP\n\nA frag_list skb can reach veth with data_len set but nr_frags zero.\nveth_convert_skb_to_xdp_buff() only converts skbs that are shared,\nlocked, have frags[], or do not have enough headroom.
