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-2026-74636 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-2026-74636/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74636/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-74636","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74636/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-74636","record":{"aliases":["AZL-97325","BELL-CVE-2026-74636","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-74636","GHSA-jcq2-873m-mp53","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-74636"],"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":"high_privilege","summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel tracing subsystem allows local attackers to cause a system crash by loading modules concurrently.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"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\ntracing: Fix race between update_event_fields and, event_define_fields\n\nThe following sequence may leads race between event_define_fields()\nand update_event_fields():\n\n CPU0 (loads module A)                      CPU1 (loads module B)\n ===============================            ===============================\n load_module(A)                             load_module(B)\n   notifier_call_chain                        notifier_call_chain\n     trace_module_notify                        trace_module_notify\n       mutex_lock(\u0026event_mutex)                   trace_event_update_all()\n         trace_module_add_events(A)                 down_write(\u0026trace_event_sem)\n            __register_event(call_A)\n              __add_event_to_tracers(call_A)\n                event_define_fields(call_A)\n                  for each f:                         list_for_each_entry(field,\n                    list_add(\u0026f-\u003elink,                                    \u0026class-\u003efields, link)\n                             \u0026class-\u003efields)            field = class-\u003efields-\u003enext;\n\nWhere access to the class-\u003efields is not protected by the event_mutex in\ntrace_event_update_all().\n\nThis produces the following panic:\n   Unable to handle kernel access ... at virtual address 0000000000000018\n   pc : update_event_fields+0xf8/0x368\n   Call trace:\n    update_event_fields+0xf8/0x368\n    trace_event_update_all+0x7c/0x2b4\n    trace_module_notify+0x4c/0x1dc\n    notifier_call_chain+0x84/0x168\n    blocking_notifier_call_chain_robust+0x64/0xd4\n    load_module+0x10c8/0x123c\n    __arm64_sys_finit_module+0x230/0x31c\n\nFix by taking event_mutex in trace_event_update_all() before\ntrace_event_sem.","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":"tracing: Fix race between update_event_fields and, event_define_fields","id":"CVE-2026-74636","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"race_condition","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"perf/core: Fix group leader use-after-free after sibling detach","id":"CVE-2026-74637"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"fbdev: bitblit: bound-check glyph index in bit_cursor()","id":"CVE-2026-74635"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-08-22","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":"2026-08-22","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel tracing subsystem allows local attackers to cause a system crash by loading modules concurrently.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74636/"}
