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-2026-74597 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-2026-74597/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74597/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-74597","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74597/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-74597","record":{"aliases":["AZL-97350","BELL-CVE-2026-74597","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-74597","GHSA-2fqw-fh97-qvmc","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-74597"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A memory corruption vulnerability in the Linux kernel's IPv6 tunnel error handling allows attackers to corrupt kernel memory, potentially leading to code execution or system crashes.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/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\nip6_tunnel: clear skb2-\u003ecb[] in ip6ip6_err()\n\nip6ip6_err() clones an outer IPv6 ICMP error skb, pulls it to the\nquoted inner IPv6 packet, and then passes the clone to icmpv6_send().\nThe clone still carries the outer packet's inet6_skb_parm in skb-\u003ecb.\n\nIf the outer packet had a Home Address Option, IP6CB(skb2)-\u003edsthao\nremains non-zero after skb_pull(). icmpv6_send() later calls\nmip6_addr_swap(), which uses that stale dsthao offset against the quoted\ninner packet.
