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-2026-74548 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-2026-74548/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74548/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-74548","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74548/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-74548","record":{"aliases":["AZL-96204","BELL-CVE-2026-74548","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-74548","GHSA-xvfj-3828-276m","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-74548"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A use-after-free vulnerability in the forcedeth network driver allows attackers to cause denial of service or execute code via improper memory management during device removal.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nforcedeth: fix UAF of txrx_stats in nv_remove\n\nnv_remove() frees the per-CPU txrx_stats before unregister_netdev().\nUntil unregister completes, ndo_get_stats64, the NAPI/xmit data path,\nand nv_close()/drain may still access txrx_stats, leading to a\nuse-after-free.\n\nFree the stats only after unregister_netdev().","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":"forcedeth: fix UAF of txrx_stats in nv_remove","id":"CVE-2026-74548","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"hwmon: (nct6775-core) Prevent access to unsupported weight registers","id":"CVE-2026-74549"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"hwmon: (adt7470) Fix busy-loop and I2C flooding in update thread","id":"CVE-2026-74547"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-08-15","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-16","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A use-after-free vulnerability in the forcedeth network driver allows attackers to cause denial of service or execute code via improper memory management during device removal.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74548/"}
